Trip to Houston

Hello to all family and friends,

Below are pics from our trip to Houston. We spent two day in Houston and had a great time. We started off our trip at the Children's Science Museum. Sheldon had a blast. There are so many things to see, do and touch! We all enjoyed this very much. Next, we went to our hotel for a short swim in the pool. Then, we headed to Minute Maid Park to watch the Houston Astro's play the St. Louis Cardinals. As all of you know, we love our Astro's. Sheldon of course also like the red birds (if you are a baseball fan, then you know why I called them red birds), anyway, Sheldon wore his Astro's shirt and his Cardinals hat. He said that he felt like everyone was starring at him. I told him not to worry about it and enjoy the game. We got to the park before it opened. We were one of the first few in line. We decided to head to the outfield to catch some practice home run balls. We never caught true home run balls, but we did get two Houston Astro balls. Luke Scott tossed one to Sheldon and then a strength coach tossed one up in the stands and Momma used her long arms to reach in and catch it. The ball was hit by Craig Biggio, my favorite. The game was good, great seats, lots of fun. The Astro's lost but we still love them.

We spent the night in Houston and the next morning we took Sheldon to another museum. We saw Africa on the 3D IMAX screen. Then, we went into the Butterfly Garden. It was so amazing. We all loved it and did not want to leave. Sheldon is very fascinated by animals and insects so he was just like a sponge, soaking it all up. It was a great, short, mini vacation.
