Lucky for us, Dustin had a trip back to the States for work. We planned to be in Houston for a week, and then Jacob and I would head to Dallas for a week and Dustin would head back to Holland. We started our Houston portion at a carnival day at a nearby day care/preschool with the Hafers. They had a petting zoo and games and prizes and food. It was a pretty day and nice to be outside - a change from the weather we'd been having in Holland. Jacob decided he liked fishing for rubber duckies and splashing in the water the best. Audrey took a ride on a pony.
Since this trip was going to be shorter and we wouldn't be able to make it to St. Louis, Dustin's mom and stepdad drove down to Houston. Jacob, of course, loved being the center of attention and Dustin and I enjoyed a night at the movies while Grandma and Gramdpa L babysat.
This was the first time that Griffin and Jacob "played" together. Griffin was crawling by this time and Jacob had fun showing him how things worked. It'll only get more fun to watch them together as they get older!
We had to eat at Saltgrass once while we were back in Texas. We just can't get decent steaks in Holland.
While Deb and Frank were in town, we decided to take Jacob to the zoo. He seemed to enjoy it. He probably liked running around more than the animals, but oh well. The worst part about this day was that we received a phone call from our vet in Holland. Dave was boarded there and apparantly was very sick. He told us he would keep us updated on his condition. This was the beginning of the end for our time with Dave (he's doing well now, but has a new home).
I love the picture of Jacob chatting on the phone with Uncle Jarrod. Too cute!
The Houston zoo has a great children's section with slides and tunnels and other fun stuff. The slide was Jacob's favorite. Slides still are his favorite.
The next day, Deb, Frank and I took Jacob to the Houston Children's Museum. I had been there once before with my nieces when they came to visit. It's areally neat place with tons of activities for children of all ages. Jacob enjoyed some grocery shopping and building with Grandpa.
I think Daddy is trying to start him a little young on the baseball.
Jacob and I made it to Dallas just in time to help celebrate Amelia's 3rd birthday with some delicious ice-cream cake! My favorite!
Jacob had fun hanging out with the girls! He's bound to show up as a princess in a future picture.
We timed our trip perfectly! Addison was born 2 days before we arrived in Dallas, so we were able to visit with Andrew, Meredith and Addison. Jacob liked tickling Addison's toes and testing out all of her toys to make sure they worked properly.
More fun in the park. We played while Madeline was at piano lessons.
It was a great trip home! A little short, but we're not complaining!
