Battleship Texas

We toured the Battleship Texas (https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/battleship-texas) today. It was commissioned in 1914 and at that time it was the toughest weapon in the world. It was quite interesting. 

San Jacinto Monument

We toured the San Jacinto Monument (https://www.sanjacinto-museum.org/Monument/) today. Lexi will get extra credit if she writes about this for Social Studies. Jordan used the visit for the citizenship in the nation merit badge. 

Playground by Our House

We went to the playground across the street from our house. The kids needed to play and we all needed a little fresh air. 

Touring SHSU

It is Spring Break here in the Houston area. We are extra spoiled this week because Aunt Paige is here for Grandma's last chemo. After church, we headed up to Sam Houston State University (SHSU). It is pretty close to Grandma and Papa's house, but mainly we went there to see Paige's old school. She spent her freshman year of college there. We walked around the historical area where Sam Houston's house and other old buildings were. It was pretty interesting. 

Snow Day 1

We came up to Montgomery for Jackson's birthday and MLK. I had a huge deadline yesterday and Lexi needed help with a big art project. I worked until 7pm, which was just enough time to find out that the school would be closed for a snow day today. It is REALLY cold and the roads are covered in ice. It is fun, but we wished we would have packed warmer clothes so we could enjoy it. Good thing Grandma and Papa have a fireplace. That helps us warm up after being outside.
