Big Island: Part 1

Our first stop in Hawaii. Well, technically our second, since after we landed in Honolulu, we had to recheck our bag for our flight to Hilo just a few hours later. Big Island was a great introduction to Hawaii, and we stayed quite busy in our 3 days there! First off, Hilo airport is amazing. We were driving away in our rental car literally 10-15 min after pulling up to the gate (including getting our checked bag). Turns out you only need to be back at the airport 15 min before your flight too; it's so quiet!

Colorado Fun

Nick attended a conference in Colorado Springs last week, so Emmeline and I decided we should definitely tag along. Colorado never disappoints, but what a fun week it was!

Easter Celebrations

Emmeline was old enough this year to actually understand a bit of Easter. Despite moving around Easter (hence the delayed post), we managed to still find time for a few fun celebrations.

Tour de Parcs: April Edition

We didn't make it to as many parks this month. Between moving, sickness, and Easter, it was busy!

Tour De Parcs: March

I recently grabbed a copy of The Woodlands Township’s parks, thinking it would be fun to visit them all with Emmeline. Well, I had no idea how many parks are in The Woodlands: 139! So, slowly, we are making our way through the parks that have playgrounds (about 85). Here’s the ones from March!

Bluebonnets

When you live and Texas and have kids, I’m pretty sure it’s an unwritten law that you have to take a picture of your kid(s) in a field of bluebonnets. So, I set off to do that.

Rodeo Fun!

Well, we are officially embracing the Texan lifestyle. From trail riders and Go Texan Day fun to BBQ lunch at Dad's office, it was a busy week! Since we moved to Texas 8 years ago, people have been telling me about these trail riders. Every year before the rodeo, groups of people make their way from all over the state, and ride "trails" (now roads) into the rodeo. Dressed in Texan attire, riding horses and covered wagons, they slowly make their way to downtown over the course of several days, camping along the way. So, I decided this year would be a good year to go out and try and see them. When in Texas, right?
