Texas time 2

We are still enjoying our time in Texas. The weather has been great--mostly in the 70's! We got to celebrate John's 6th birthday with an ice cream cake and lots of presents.




The next day we went to the Downtown Aquarium where we saw lots of fish and enjoyed the rides outside.



On Friday, Bruce and I got to go to Forbidden Gardens, a Chinese museum with a replication of China's major historical scenes, including the Forbidden City of Bejing. There is a one-third scale model of the entire 6,000 piece terra-cota army which is really impressive. There was a lot of hurricane damage evident, but still quite amazing. Most of it is outdoors, but there are several indoor exhibits and a very informative video.







On Saturday, Amanda had to work but the rest of us went to the boys' Pinewood Derby. No trophies this year, but had a good time anyway. Bruce got to help Michael with his car.






Our trailer's leak has been fixed and so we're all set to go when we want to.
