Visit to Houston

On Tuesday, after a very loooong dentist appointment for Jillian and Rocco (with me chasing Hadleigh around the Dentist's office), we got on the road and headed for a serious play date with the McA family.

In the first hour of the trip, I had to stop 3 times for a diaper blowout, AC issues and lunch but then we got a move on and the kids napped and we arrived at the McA's new house. 

Allison has a ton of dress up clothes.  My kids LOVE to dress up.  ALL of the kids were so creative.  They played together for several hours thinking of skits and plays and songs that they performed together.  It was amazing because Amy and I actually got to sit and chat without major interruptions.  WOW!  What a concept!!

Things were just getting going.....

Costume change.....

This is the quartet taking a bow......

Allison really wanted Jillian to "spend the night" in her room. 

Here they are getting ready.  Isn't this the sweetest picture ever???   Allison was reading a Barbie goodnight story to everyone.  But eventually I had both Jillian and Rocco in the guest bed with me.  I don't know when my kids will break through this "cling to mommy" phase of sleep.

Amy and Tyler belong to an awesome club that had a spectactular pool with waterfall, grotto, slide, lazy river, beach entrances and a splash pad.  Seriously, everything a kid could need to have some fun!!

Jillian and Allison just slid down.....

Enjoying the splash pad and waiting to get water dumped on their heads!!!

Hadleigh getting a little splash pad action.

Rocco felt like he was "taking a shower."

With all of serious fun, these four were hungry!!!

Amy did the girls' hair and Jillian looked so pretty!

One night, we walked down to the neighborhood park. 

In Houston, this is how you prepare for the park.  Everybody was sprayed down with OFF.  The mosquitos are big and ferocious!!

Allison and Jillian hangin' like monkeys!!

Lots of slides!!

More hanging!!

Peek-a-boo with Hadleigh!!!

Going on a ride with Aidan!!!

We had so much fun with the McA family.  It is just not fair that we live 3 hours apart!!!  When I told Hadleigh it was time to go home, this is how she felt about that....

Thank you Amy and Tyler for hosting me and my three crazy kiddos!!!!
