TEXAS




So the Talbot clan took a vacation to Houston to visit Brett and Marnie this past week. It was a blast!! We were only there for 5 days, but Houston is HUGE and there was so much to see. We stayed busy! First of all on Friday we took a tour of the University of Houston where Brett goes to school and works. It was really fun for us to see where exactly they will be for the next few years.


After we toured campus, we headed over to Hermann Park. It was this huge beautiful park with animals, a fountain and a little train that goes through the park. So we all took a ride on the train. Ava was terrified of the train.. She no longer likes trains..





On Saturday we went to the beach!! I absolutely love the ocean; the waves, the breeze, the smell, and the sounds... all of it. I miss it so much since I've moved home from Hawaii so it was so incredible to go back to a beach! It was so much fun! The weather was amazing and a nice break from cold and snowy Utah. We also took a ferry ride and saw dolphins and a lot of birds. Ava chirped like a bird most of the ride!



How cute are her little legs? She was so funny to watch as she adjusted to the water on her feet. This was her first trip to the ocean so she didn't really know what was going on. Even though it took her a few minutes to get used to the water, she cried when we took her out. She loved splashing and kicking in the water.

Jenn how fun! I'm so jealous you got to go somewhere warm! So I'm not going to spill the beans but if you haven't looked yet go to Amie's blog, and then lets discuss getting together around July-ish for a non-Christmas party.
