jonah and lee filled the weekend with xbox playing, emma filled her time helping with brendan, and (i think) emily enjoyed a relaxing weekend :). we cooked some meals here at home, including a yummy dinner from emily, and of course hit up some favorite places as well. crave cupcakes is just a given at this point, but we decided to introduce them to a favorite local kingwood restaurant...sharky's. the seafood restaurant right on the lake was a big hit.
our last full day together, we had lunch at pappa's burgers, shopped at the container store, and then headed to the paddle boats between the zoo and japanese gardens (i am sure there is a name for this area, but sadly i do not know it). lee and the kids had a great time on the water while brendan, emily, and i looked on from shore. crave was the perfect post-park pick-me-up, but our day was not over just yet. we headed back to kingwood and introduced the allens to the wonderful toy store we finally discovered at Christmastime (this is where we saw santa). seriously, this place is amazing...practically every toy you can think of and many more. plus, it has a sweet candy section (pun intended). you would think that would be enough for one day, but we had one more thing to show them. this time, we headed to the morrow's house...more specifically, their backyard. they have built an unbelievably awesome castle in their backyard. after completing their new deck and backyard landscape they added this major kid-friendly element. the castle has a slide, swings, and huge playspace inside. emma had a ball!
emily may have gone back to louisiana empty-handed from her shopping endeavors, but we all walked away from the weekend with many laughs and full bellies.
