Festival of Lights, Moody Garden Galveston

Moody Gardens in Galveston has the Festival of Lights every year for Christmas.  This year they started having a snow area for the kids on Friday nights.  We planned a trip with Danielle and John and one of their little boys Wade.  The lights were pretty neat for the kids because they have several different animals and scenes for the kids.  The now was area was a hit.  Although, the area was tiny and the snow had melted and was pretty slippery Dax loved it.  He made several snow balls and had a blast.  Here are a few pictures from the night.

Conversation With Dax...

As most of you know, Don has a major obsession with hunting.  Don was getting ready for a long weekend hunting trip packing his bags.  I was sitting on the couch and Dax came into the living room and we had this conversation:

Dax: "Mommy, I am going to go hunting with Daddy.  I will be back tomorrow."
Mommy: "What? You are going hunting with Daddy."
Dax: "Yes, Mommy."
Mommy: I started to act sad, and Dax ran up to me put his hand on my leg and said, "Mommy, you want to go? You can come with us."

He is just the sweetest little boy.  I know, the day will come sooner than I like when Dax takes off with Daddy on their hunting trips.  I know it will be a bittersweet bonding time for them.  I better start being a hunter or I will have many lonely weekends.

Just a few cute pictures of Dax!

We went to New Braunfels this past weekend and ended in Gruene which is one of my favorite places.  Here are a few pictures of Dax playing.

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year.  Dax really got into it and was a blast to watch.  He was not scared and went and knocked on the doors and ran to the next house.  He was very generous and said "Thank You" to everyone.  We went to New Hope Church before since they were having a festival.  It was a lot of fun.  They had The Rockin Fossils singing along with lots of treats and fun for the whole family.  Dax got his face painted for the first time and participated in trying to knock down the GIANT pumpkin pinata.
