The Woodlands

I can't believe another week has passed since we were in The Woodlands enjoying the wonderful weather and having fun with our Texas grand kids. We followed up our excursion to Rebeccas with another week in The Woodlands (Houston. TX) with Shelly and Doran and family. We aren't sure if we aged or got younger with all the fun things we did with them! Grandpa (Dick) played tennis twice a day with the older three children, Ryan, Malia and Gavin.

We had a great time playing games, putting puzzles together, playing tennis, having magic shows, painting rooms, visiting the Blue Bell Factory (Ice Cream), swinging in the big long swings from the tall trees in their back yard and enjoying the wonderful weather.
Dick and Gavin made a challenge bet about hitting the tennis ball in to the basket. Gavin had to pay Dick a 25ç for each basket he got and was going into debt, when Gavin hit the basket in one shot! Bingo! Gavin stuck it rich with a $10 bill! We all took a shot at it and found it wasn't as easy as it looked.

This is the sign the kids made and greeted us in the middle of the street when we arrived the first night. We ran through the sign and then taped it back together to take the pictures. Guess we will have to make it back again in June to see the kid's progress with their tennis. They improved greatly during the week. Ryan won a gold medal this week playing against 20 other schools. Malia plans to add to her two gold medals on Saturday in another tournament. Good luck, kids!!
