Fun in Tyler, Texas

Last Friday morning I had a spontaneous idea to rent a hotel room for the night and go out of town. We ended up getting renting a room in Tyler. Being that Tyler is only an hour and fifteen minutes away. it was an ideal place to go overnight. We stayed at the Holiday Inn (thanks Price line for an awesome room at a great price).

On Saturday we woke up and decided to go to The Discovery Science Place (it is a childrens' museum).Elizabeth had loads of fun "shopping" for groceries,taking care of the "sick" animals and pretending to be a nurse.
After the museum we went to Chuck e Cheese and used up our free tokens.Then we went shopping and to Jason's Deli (yum). Overall it was a great mini vacation.

Really......Are you that Bored

Okay so I know that Elizabeth is only three but really. She was extra destructive today. I was checking my email when I heard a strange noise....(It was quiet). I went in to find Elizabeth sitting on the kitchen floor playing in rice cereal.She had dumped out a whole box. Ughhhh....It was such a mess. I cleaned that mess up and went to change the baby. When I came out Elizabeth was eating Petroleum Jelly. Yet another time I have had to call Poison Control. The lady at Poison control asked us what our zip code was and her name. I am sure they keep a record on kids. One day CPS is going to show up at my door(just kidding). I am glad it is bed time because I need a break.

The Houston Zoo

This past weekend we had a chance to go to the Houston Zoo. We had lots of fun. The zoo had this cool new Chimpanzee exhibit. It was probably one of the coolest exhibits I have ever seen in my life. The monkeys were right there a foot away from us. Elizabeth loved it and kept pointing and saying monkey.I would highly recommend it.

Elizabeth also had fun at the petting zoo. She even tried sitting on a goat (poor goat). The weather was really nice.The animals were also actually out and the zoo wasn't that crowded. All and all everyone had a great time.Yay for family activities.
