Road Trippin' on a Long Weekend

Well anyone who has a new baby may be able to understand our decision to leave Norman for Houston at 7pm at night. If you know enough about Texas you know that means we did not arrive at our destination til 2am. Yeah crazy to some people- genius for 2 parents with a temper mental car rider. I do not use the word genius lightly. After an early bath and a feeding the babe went to sleep at 7pm and did not stir until 2am when taken out of her car seat upon arrival. Unfortunately we have not worked out the kink where she is wide eyed and bushy tailed from sleeping so long! After some laughs and a 2:15am bottle she was back down.

The next morning the babe and I went to her Nana's work to meet some more peeps. BUT Daddy and Papa went fishing in kayak's. Daddy was super excited about kayak fishing- Mommy not so much. Hello sharks, jelly fish, sting rays- need I say more!? Well after they got back and I was bored from sitting around I decided to try my hand at kayak fishing. They were super expensive Kobe Kayaks that my Dad rented for the day. The only way to do this is with these kayaks. They have pedals! Also there is a small handle you use to steer with which makes it so much easier. Well after a few Coors I figured it wasn't too scary and I decided I could make it to the Kemah bridge. I did make it but Lance failed to mention I had to go under the shortest bridge known to man. I'm claustrophobic and was about to just go back. I told him I was going to close my eyes and pedal for dear life til I reached the other side and he was to tell me if I was going to wreck. So I went for it and about half way thru he yelled and I heard the most awful noise. Well the DANG fishing pole was still up and scrappin along the bottom of the bridge. Scared the crap out of me. I did catch 2 fish! One hard head and one catfish. Neither of which we wanted to keep. Not important though the important part was I caught 2 and Lance caught none :)
He did catch this flounder with Dad... later he caught a much bigger one that we did keep and cook for dinner on Sunday. Yummy!

Lance and Dad

Lance's flounder caught in Clear Lake.

Bryn's first trip to Kemah, TX!

Daddy took Bryn to change her diapy in the family bathroom 

next to the bar area. He took a while and came back a little

shaken. Apparently poor babe screamed her head off in the

bathroom. Daddy was a little worried everyone heard and 

probably thought he was a horrible Dad. That's okay beb she just loves her Mommy changing her diaps ;)

Mommy won Bryn a finding Nemo stuffed animal at the "Guess My Age" booth. They guessed 19...ya Mom's still got it ;)

Saturday we made our way to Pearland to attend my cousin's baby's 1 year birthday party. It was so great to see everyone and Bryn got to meet all her Carouthers relatives.

Sunday before heading out we carved, well Daddy carved, a punkin for Bryn. It is staying at Papa's house but she looked super cute sitting next to it!
