Quickie to Houston

This past weekend the fam made a quick trip to Houston for Ryan's cousin's wedding. Ryan's sister Heather tagged along, we left Thursday afternoon and returned Sunday morning. It was a great trip, but a long ride. We realized during the trip to Houston, that Cannon is a happy camper but needs noise and physical activity. For at least an hour Cannon kicked his feet at Ryan's seat and yelled "Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!" But considering everything, the kids were great during the 7 hour car drive! We stayed with Ryan's brother, Eric and Wendy, along with Ryan's parents and sister. It was a full house, especially considering they were leaving the same day as us for a 10 day trip to Alaska! Thank you Eric and Wendy, we had a great time!

Friday morning, we spent some quality time at their neighborhood pool. I wouldn't classify it as a "neighborhood pool" because it included a beach style swimming pool without the sand, a lazy river, waterslide and enough room for everyone.
Isn't Cannon's cousin partner (one month older) Brandt adorable? They were so funny to watch interact. They would jabber to each other, and sometimes scream at each other when they weren't "sharing".
Here's the Chunk eating crackers waiting out the "adult swim". Every hour the pool would give the life guard breaks for 10 minutes, and labeled it an "adult swim". All kids out, which means all adults out, because moms with kids were the only adults! Soon after we got there was the "adult swim", and Cannon kept trying to sneak towards the pool unnoticed. (The picture below shows his 'sneaking position'!

I am so glad Ryan came with us. He was one of the pools climbing toy for all the Bushmans. Cannon was absolutely crazy, and could careless if his entire face was submerged and he couldn't breath. Brenna also did great making her way around the pool in her safety innertube! She feels confident as long as she has her pink tube.

Here are the terrible twosome. They followed each other around, and loved sitting at the piano together. Both of them understand the concept of "Cheese!", but we were too slow to catch them at it! We spent a lot of relax time at the home, and let the kids just enjoy each other.

And here is the real reason we came. Susannah and Adam were married on Saturday in the Houston Temple. It was a sweet ceremony, and a beautiful day! It was fun to see the extended Bushman family, especially since we are missing the Bushman Family Reunion in the end of June in Utah. I'm glad we could be apart of such a beautiful day!

We had an uneventful ride home Sunday, and I could tell that the kids, the dog and Ryan and I were relieved to be home after a whirlwind weekend! This is our last (scheduled) trip before the baby is born, and I'm glad we were able to do it!
