We ventured into Houston this week with our friends Andrea and her daughter Leah. I have taken Max to the San Antonio Children's Museum but never to our local one. The drive wasn't bad at all, we even took the HOV lane. I always feel weird about using that lane because I'm not in a carpool, but I qualify because I have 3 people in the car, right?
I bought a Groupon for BOGO, so that saved us some money. There was so much to do there, and as usual the kids wanted to do different things. So I was on my toes!! We tried the pain first, big mistake. Maddie isn't quite ready for that, so it was hard to help Max. On to the next thing, HEB play store. They went in, but they weren't too impressed. Finally we made it to the Tot Spot and they were in heaven! They could climb, play on cars, a huge lite-brite, slides, cars, doors, etc. It's for 3 and under so I only have a while left where I can take them both. They were all over the place and a few times I lost sight of one of them which scared me. My friends little girl managed to get out of the tot spot and hide around a corner. We thought we lost her for a few minutes. Thank God we spotted her, very scary!

She loved the mirror, but can you blame her? She's gorgeous!
Riding in the car
We were both shaken up, so we re-grouped and headed to lunch at Zoe's Kitchen.The kids enjoyed their food (grilled cheese, backed lays, strawberries and milk). Then they slowly started to venture away from their seats and commenced to run around like crazy children. Luckily the place wasn't too crowded. I think we got a few "control your child" looks. Oh well, we played, we ate, we smiled and headed home. I'd say it was a successful trip!
