Tuesday we woke up and headed to Richmond, on the west side of Houston, to Jeremy's grandparents house. We were treated to a nice lunch made by Jeremy's grandma, and we ate with Jeremy's grandparents, Uncle, and Brady's 2nd cousin Mason. Mason was quite shy that day, but we had a very nice time. Brady loved playing with his great-grandparents, and running around and being his crazy self. Sadly I forgot to take pictures that day, but I do have cute pics from our 1st visit when Brady was just 6 months old.
Tuesday afternoon we went to my dads and Brady and I went for a little swim. It was a little cold, but not too bad for OCTOBER! Crazy that you can go swimming in October in Houston. Afterwards we went to have some yummy pizza, and once again Brady had a great time with Grandpa and Grandma Karen.
Wednesday was a pretty low key day. We started with delicious Mornings Kolaches. Colorado does not have kolaches so we ate them a few times :). Afterward we went to visit with Jeremy's 92 year old Grandmother, who still lives alone! She is an amazing woman, but she loves to talk! Her house is not Brady friendly so we spent most of the time out doors while Jeremy visited with his Grandmother. It was wonderful to see her and she really is inspirational.
A side note, Brady is so blessed to have 4 Great-Grandmothers, and 3 Great-Grandfathers who are still living. 2 of his Great-Grandparents are in their 90s, and all of them live on their own, not in any sort of assisted living facility. Maybe this is not surprising now a days but think about 50 years ago. I am so glad he has so many Grandparents who love him, and I hope one day he realizes how special this is. Also maybe he has really good genes and will live to be really old!
Wednesday was date night and we were thrilled. We went to one of my favorites Churrascos for a fabulous dinner. We also tried to find a neat place for dessert, but we are not familiar with the area, and also it was a Wednesday night, so we had dessert at Katz's deli. It was so nice to get out and I am very thankful to our parents who are our baby sitters and give us our date nights.
Thursday, we were really looking forward too. I knew that what we had planned that day would be awesome, so I was really looking forward to it. We headed into town to meet with my aunt and my cousins who are 3 and 17months old, and also my Grandparents. We all piled in cars and went to the Houston Children's Museum. I remember how awesome the children's museum was when I was little, and knew that it had been re-done recently, but it was even better than expected. If you are in the area you must go. If we lived there we would have memberships and go all the time! Brady was in heaven. i think his favorties were the flow works and tot spot. We were there for hours and did not even see it all. Here is a video of Brady at the flow works part.

We also went to lunch and a church pumpkin patch. The kids had a blast and were nice and tired after a fun day. Brady was so sweet giving Jordan a hug at the pumpkin patch.
Thursday was date night again, while Brady played with Grandma and Grandpa Max. This time we went on a double date with our friends Brad and Jessica, and then went to see some other friends' new baby.
Friday we visited with more family, Jeremy's Uncle Jerry and Aunt Carol. We always have a great time with them and Brady had fun playing with toys Jeremy remembered playing with as a boy. Here is a picture of Brady and his Great-Uncle Jerry playing together.
Friday afternoon Jeremy played golf while Grandma and I drug Brady to eat Vietnamese, (another thing you rarely find in CO) play with his Great-grandparents, and shopping. Friday night Brady and I relaxed and packed while Jeremy went out with friends.
Saturday sadly was our last day. We played at Grandpas in the morning and then headed to the airport. Brady and Zoey the dog loved playing with this big ball together.
It was a very busy, but fun trip. We had a blast, and miss everyone already, but it was nice to be home and get back to normal.
