Conroe Roadtrip, pt 1

The kids and I took a 5-day road trip to Conroe the week before Thanksgiving.  Troy had a ton of work to do plus was going to be out of town for the weekend, so it seemed like a good idea.  It worked out great since we were able to spend more time than if we had gone for actual Thanksgiving day.  We left right after preschool on Thursday  and came home the following Wednesday morning.
The trip there went great.  No vomiting thanks to Lachlan's Dramamine, and Poppy didn't scream too much.  We stopped once in LaGrange to play at the park and get the snacks situated. 
We stayed with Grandma this time since we could spread out a bit more and make use of the backyard.
She zipped them off on a walk the first day.
 Poppy thought riding with Lachlan was pretty fabulous.

 We visited a new park with Gigi on Saturday morning.  It was really nice!


The best part of the park (according to Reef and Jonas, anyway) was the skateboard area.  Obviously we don't have skateboards, but they didn't mind.  They loved sliding down the walls and ramps, especially in the 12-foot empty pool!  Grandma had to patch their pants after all that sliding fun!
 That evening we headed out to the outlet mall for their tree lighting.  It wasn't the most fabulous outing, but we all enjoyed being together.  Lachlan and Poppy were very impressed with the "rein-moose".
 We happened to be close enough to the carriages that we didn't have to wait too long.  This is the best pic we could get!
