A weekend at Yogi Bear Park!

 The Henderson's ventured out to Waller for a weekend at Yogi Bear Park.  We shared a cabin with our good friends the Morin's who have been several times before.  This is the closest to camping Chase has got, he'll learn soon enough that "Real" camping doesn't include a bathroom and a/c!  They have tons of fun activities for the kids in October.  The kids planted "magic pumpkin seeds" and went back a few hours later to find and pick their pumpkin and then painted it.  The crazy Texas weather allowed us to enjoy the pool and water slides!  Later Saturday they had a costume contest where the boys won 2nd Place in their age group, Chase was fisherman and Wyatt a sweet little fish!  When it got dark the kids all got to go treat or treating through the camp grounds- they had a ball and it was great practice for Halloween in a few weeks.  We love making memories with our little guys- they bring so much joy to our lives!

Blue Bell...the best ice cream in the country!

We've checked one more thing off out "to do" list!  We have said for the past 3 years we've lived in Houston that we needed to get out to Brenham to visit the Blue Bell Factory.  They only offer tours Monday through Friday which makes it hard to schedule.    Chris had the day off (Columbus day is a bank holiday) so we loaded up the boys and headed to BB.  Laura was off work too so she and Presley joined in on the fun.  The tour itself only lasted about 30 minutes which felt like a lifetime to Chase who really only wanted the scoop of ice cream he was promised at the end of the tour.  We like everyone else are big fans of Blue Bell ice cream so it was fun seeing how it was made and packaged.  You really do learn something new everyday!  

Are you jealous of our cool paper hats???

Mint Chocolate Chip- Chase's favorite and mommy's too!

Presley decided the spoon was a useless tool.

Yum!

Love these boys like CrAzY!!!

A day at the zoo!

We took advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday and took the boys to the zoo.  For you people who  choose walk around the zoo in the Texas heat in July/August, you're nuts.  We've taken Chase a few times before but this trip he so enthusiastic and eager to see it all!  When we left the zoo we walked around Herman Park, fed the ducks and let Chase play in the splash pad.  Such a fun day for us all!
