Fun with Grandma in Texas

We were SO excited that Grandma accepted Ian's invitation to travel back with us from Camp Cilca to Texas. We drove to Little Rock, Arkansas, the first night and all enjoyed yummy Mongolian BBQ at Genghis Grill. Ian loved having a second entertainer in the backseat who had a whole new array of songs, rhymes, and toys! (Let's face it ... Momma's tricks were getting a little old! :))

We got back home on Friday night. Then, the fun of showing Grandma some of Ian's favorite activities began! Saturday morning, we went to the Houston Zoo together!! The monkey exhibit seemed to be Ian's favorite during this trip.
Grandma also took Ian on his first-ever carousel ride.

This visit, Ian actually understood that he could pet and brush the goats in the petting zoo.
He enjoyed it so much that he didn't even want to take a time-out from brushing the goats for a picture!


Grandma quickly learned JUST how to make Ian smile and laugh."I love having you visit, Grandma." --Ian
On Sunday after church, we went to the fountains at Market Street in The Woodlands. Not surprisingly, Ian LOVED playing in the water ...
... and even purposely stuck his face in the stream of water.
Grandma splashed around with Ian a little bit, too.
This will definitely be a place we'll visit again soon!
On Monday afternoon, Ian introduced Grandma to "lap sit" (story time) at the library ... and how much he likes walking around to greet the other children, listening to the songs & stories, and playing with the parachute.
Ian loved every minute with Grandma! It was sad to see her go home on Tuesday morning. Come back soon, Grandma!
