Most days were spent shopping, doing puzzles and reading books. I think Kari may have done the map puzzle 50 times while here. She is even better at US geography now!
Kari helped all day, everyday with the kids. Just getting them in and out of the car during shopping excursions or helping put everyone to bed, but the best one, giving Ben and I a much needed date night. Do you know the last date night we had was for our anniversary {May 7th} and that was after putting the kids to sleep at 7. Having the full evening and night was absolutely amazing. What a refresher.
The memories we created with Kari are priceless. I could not be more thankful for such a wonderful Aunt to our children. We are a truly blessed family.
Kemah boardwalk was fun. We enjoyed looking out into the ocean and then stopped for dinner at SaltGrass Steakhouse. Fabulous day but just a little warm {101 degrees warm}.

Ben and I enjoyed a great dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse {Thank you to Pia and Jannic for a long overdue use of the gift card}. We then did a little shopping at the nearby stores and traveled farther into Houston to enjoy a Improv Comedy Show. The show was funny but sorry Texas, Denver kicked your butt on the funny! Next we stopped at a great shopping/restaurant district called Memorial City. The trees were lit up, fire pits blazing and just an overall romantic evening atmosphere {other than the 1 year olds running around at 11:30 at night}. A great recommendation from none other than Lynn :) We sat on the patio and enjoyed a very southern dessert, bread pudding {I believe that was my first try} and wow, deliciously sweet. Just what I needed after an over indulging dinner. The night was cliché as the saying..Magical.
