A Tribute to Sam Houston

 The first of January found us jumping in the car for a fun adventure!  Headed out towards Huntsville to check out the big white man statue!
 Couple of nose pickers
 Cuties on the mini statue
 Katie practiced her photography skills
 We love being in love!

 Jump!!!

 Sam, after boosting all the kids up onto the statue - a little dramatic, but he is a good sport!

 It is amazing how huge this statue is!

 I need to learn more about this great man and the legacy he has left in Texas!

 We are always trying to hide from the kids, but they always seem to find us!
 We are obviously not sneaky enough!
 My Love
 The kids had fun collecting leaves and branches up on the statue
 Emily of course found a caterpillar on this pinecone
 Cute Katie
 Rebecca always has that dancing itch wherever she may be!
 My favorite family shot
 Cute too, but the lighting was not great.
 Everyone had to say good-bye to the mini Sam Houston head before we left.

 We ended our evening on the porch swing of the information center.
 We started our adventure at Buc-ees - it was our first time going there to eat and the kids were thrilled with the slurpees and fudge!
 A little bit of each flavor is the best!
 Katie and Emily chowing down their hot dogs!
 We all want matching Buc-ees T-Shirts!
 We had a long road trip and found this abandoned shed and could not pass up the opportunity for a family photo shoot!



 Love these smiles!

Sam gave us the grand tour at Huntsville starting with the famous prison.  Then we headed back on the freeway to see the huge Sam Houston Statue.  Sorry these are out of order again, but we actually did Buc-ees first, then the statue.  I will figure out how to post large amounts of pictures correctly someday!
