Kemah Boardwalk

Oh how the boardwalk has changed since Stephen and I got married. We used to go down there for a low key dinner and now it is a vacation destination with hotels and several amusement rides. The weather has been so awesome that we have spent our last two Sunday afternoons on the boardwalk. Last weekend we forgot that it was Mardi Gras and, of course, this weekend was the start of Spring Break. I have never seen so many people there in all my life. We let Cole do a little roaming and some strolling. He really enjoyed people watching the most.

Armand Bayou Nature Center

A few weeks back Stephen and I took Cole to the nature center in Clear Lake. It has a hawk exhibit, alligator pond, bird sanctuary, farm house, barn, and nature trails. It will be a perfect place for a birthday party when Cole gets a little older. It has a party room that is connected to a snake exhibit. Every little boy's dream, right? Here are a few pics from our family outing.
