Our Family Vacation 09

Whew! I have finally sifted through all of our vacation pictures from Lake Conroe. We had a really great time. It was SO nice to just focus on the 4 of us for a week and not worry about anything else. We spent every second together...just doing things we don't normally get to do or wouldn't do. I really tried to be laid back and let the kids enjoy themselves...eat sugar, get dirty, play in the splash park in their nice clothes, etc.. We enjoyed many things such as...visiting the aquarium, the Houston zoo, going out in the boat, swimming in the pool, going to the beach in Galveston, visiting Schlitterbahn, and doing some shopping of course.

Keep in mind I wanted to relax on vacation so I was there as a mommy and wife...not a photographer. Most of the time I didn't even use my fancy schmancy camera...

I took this pic on Fathers' Day

We took Rhett out for dinner for Fathers' Day and Truett took this pic of me...

On our first night, we drove the boat to a McDonalds on the water...the kids loved it!
