Harvey came to Houston right before school was set to begin, so we ended up with two extra weeks of summer vacation on top of an already long summer break. Fifteen weeks plus three days = way too much summer!!
Gene came back from Singapore to sunny blue skies and mild temps. Everyone was really glad to see him
and not just because he brought presents!
He had a long layover in Tokyo so brought us chopsticks and candy
and t-shirts!
Will really loves sushi and sashimi so this shirt is just perfect for him.
Sushi night = time to try the new chopsticks!
Here's a peek at how we spent our extra days of summer vacation, courtesy of Harvey:
Puzzle time -- Henry picked up a 1000-piece puzzle, and we are still working on it!
We had some friends who flooded pretty severely during Harvey, so we took their three boys for a couple of days before school started. I had five boys with me at the science museum. It was exhausting but also so much fun! It helps that they all get along really well.
Will went back to school two days before Henry did, so Henry and I spent one morning at the Houston Arboretum with Ruby. Our first true cool front came in in early September, so we were itching to get outside.
The park was beautiful, though the mosquitoes were out in droves in the forest.
On the Friday before school started, we had our friends' kids again (but not Will as he had school), so we took advantage of another gorgeous day to go to the zoo!
My boys don't normally want to ride the carousel anymore, but we had a four-year-old with us, so the big boys were all for it!
We also toured the Lego exhibit again too.
And I'll leave you with a picture of Ruby on the outside table. It is one of her favorite places to warm up!
