Here are a few pics of Violet's week here. She made a sand castle by Spring creek. We are having an activity filled week. Texas isn't Italy but it's still a lot of fun- especially with Teresa as a friend and guide.

admired the fine craftsmanship of this pioneer bench in Jesse Jones park.

had thoughts of breaking the law and picking Texas's state flower-

walked in then warm sand.... and learned a bit about fire ants at the same time.

marveled at the geode at the X-ploration station... just had to touch it!

Midnight's summer dreaming....

figuring out torsion waves....

enjoying a last snack with Drake before he leaves to live with his dad in Africa. We gave him a gift.....sunblock! He's so fair.

passing thru the bubble chamber and listening to fish and whale sounds...

She really did enjoy the X-ploration station- especially the scary stuff and the hissing cockroaches. The guides were fun and kept the kids attention. There was so much to see and do and of course- to keep Grandma busy too. What can I say about Violet- she is a wonderful child- delightful in every way.

To end the day- we all ate at Joe's............
