A day in photos

Let's take a look back at the fun we had with Heidi and the munchkins yesterdy!

Anika really, really wanted her picture taken.

Then she wanted to get one with her tongue sticking out.

We can't forget about Jayden!

They both wanted me to take one of myself.

Anika was completely passed out when we got to Fudruckers.

Jayden got his hands on some silly whistle teeth.

Let's not forget about Bamma.

Or Aunt Heidi with a silly Jayden.

Anika really loved her cookie.

Bamma took one of me with Anika!

Anika wanted her own pair of silly teeth.

Anika and her rotting teeth!

Jayden showing us all what happens when you don't brush your teeth.

Anika really wasn't too sure about the mist screen at first, but she really loved it by the time we left.


Jayden was waiting in line for an Indiana Jones bouncy-maze.

There wasn't much for Anika to do there, but she spent a lot of time in this Martian-Matrix ball pit thing.


Anika and Aunt Heidi while we all waited for Jayden to go through the bouncer a second time.

Anika gave me a big hug before we went through some virtual reality tours.

Jayden and Anika trying to land a space shuttle without crashing (I crashed).

Anika and Jayden took me through a display of what the shuttles look like on the inside.

We even landed on Mars.

Back at the house, we made some new ears for Anike.


After that we all went swimming, but it's kind of hard to get pictures with an expensive camera when you're in the pool!! Jayden even got a haircut, but I haven't gotten any pictures of it yet. Today we're off to get pedicures and have a movie day!

Laptop-less

For some reason I am having horrible luck with electronics these days (among other things). Ever since my vacation officially started it's been one small thing after another. The big, big error though involves my laptop. After my flight, on my first morning here in Texas, I went to turn on my laptop so I could upload the photos that I took on the plane and nothing happens except this weird clicking noise.

My heard drive is dead. Insert really bad word here. I am not happy at all because until I can get it fixed and get Photoshop/Camera RAW up and running again I won't be able to view any of my photos. Not to mention if I run out of space on my memory cards with my camera (which I will) I have nowhere to transfer them to so I can take more. Big, big headache, and an even bigger downer. It's a shame, because we're having so much fun and I wish I could share photos of what all we're doing.

Today we had lunch at Fudrucker's - the layout of the restaurant we went to and the decor is so completely different that what I am used to at home, but it was so awesome. It almost reminds me a little of Red Robin with all of the framed photos and art on the walls. But the burgers and fries are just as tasty as I remember them. Then it was off to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center for a very full afternoon of fun. My little cousins Jayden and Anika were pulling me left and right to show me everything that they could.

Throw in a couple of hours in the pool and you have yourself a pretty awesome day!
