The Bunch Visit the Jurassic World Exhibition

 This week was also a nice week.  We drew from the fun jar  go hiking and visit the Jurassic World Exhibition.  I have wanted to go hike a greenbelt that is near us since we moved here. Finally, after almost 5 years, we have. This area has over 20 miles of hiking trails and also allows horses. It was raining the day we went so we did not see anyone else, but it would be a fun place to take your horse for a trail ride. It's too bad we can't ride our horse! We managed to get our hike in between rain showers so other than the high humidity it was nice hike. It was pretty flat so it was a fairly easy trail. We have had to scale some mountains on a few of our hikes, but this was like a nice nature walk, though being as competitive as we all are it turned into who can speed walk the fastest walk. Spoiler T and I pretty much walk the same speed. It was a fun way to get a little exercise in and we spent about an hour there hiking.

It was a nice easy hike though it was super humid.

We had a lot fun. We even saw 2 huge trout in the river!

We always look so happy BEFORE we hike.

We went to buy our new oven this week, but it wasn't on sale anymore (even though it was advertised that it was) and they were out of stock so since we don't really need it yet we are waiting until I see a good sale, probably around Labor Day. My kids find it funny that I will never pay full price for anything or rarely pay full price. I am willing to wait patiently until I find a deal I want. The kids pick up on my habits too. T had been stalking the nintendo website waiting for his NBA 2K21 to go on sale. It paid off the other day and during one of their flash sales T got the $100 game for $4.79 or  95% off! The girls also always check sales and clearance racks  first before they start looking around at the rest of the store.

The Jurassic World Exhibition is in the Colony this summer and I found a coupon code where we were able to get tickets for about $20-$30 each. It was a really fun experience. It is amazing how life like they can make these robots look. We had a super fun time! 

We were excited to go see this exhibit. T loved dinosaurs when he was little. This was a nod to his 4 year old self.

The storm was rolling in.

The way the dinosaurs moved and walked around was so freaking cool!

It was a good experience. Definitely worth it to us.

Lots of smiles.

The way it was set up you moved with your group to each exhibit and the hosts talked about what you were seeing. This was the "training" area for the dinosaurs.

This was the nursery.

A was looking inside one of the eggs.

The newborns. L's phone classified them as food.😂

This one moved its neck up and down. The technology was unreal for this exhibit, even the nostrils flared as they were breathing.

Luckily, it wasn't very busy when we were there. 

It was a fantastic way to spend about an hour.

The Bunch's Streak Of Bad Luck Continues

We made great time on the way there! It's amazing how leaving only 30 minutes later can help immensely with traffic. I wish all the shows started at 8 instead of 7:30.  What a week this was! We went to Bass Hall to see Back to the Future. It was ok. Definitely not the best play we have seen. The boys went with us and since the last two shows they joined us for were The Outsiders, which is one of, if not our most, favorite show ever, and A Christmas Story, which is in probably in the top 6, they were really not impressed. However, we still had a nice time doing something different together.  We love Bass Hall❤️ We had opening night tickets and got a GREAT deal! I went in this week and had my polyps removed plus they did a biopsy. I was more sore and for longer than I anticipated. Yes, the doctor said recovery was about 10 days, but I really only anticipated maybe 3-4. Boy, was I wrong! It's been 7 days now and by 10 I think I will be completely back to normal. Unfortunately, sh...

The Bunch Have A Fun Week!

D had his awards banquet at a BBQ place we had been wanting to try for awhile. The food was really delicious and not greasy at all.  We have had a lot of expenses thrown at us lately. We bought our new appliances , which were well planned for. However, after that we had 2 cars to get repaired, one of which   was decided that it was too expensive and would make more sense to get a newer, stronger, younger one, I have to get some polyps removed, we owe uncle Sam money for the first time ever (thanks to the rule about the year a child turns 17 you lose the child tax credit even if the majority of the year they are 16), and lots of other little things. You know how it goes...when it rains it pours. Since we were unable to take the rv out because of the tow vehicle being unable to tow with a heavy load, more like us not wanting to risk trying, and since A had a day off work, we decided to go on an adventure to do something that none of us ever had done before. We started with...

The Bunch Say Goodbye

  Aunt P picked a lovely cemetery. It was so beautiful and peaceful. For the past 8 years or so we have helped our Aunt P.  We have had numerous visits and conversations over the years, not to mention dinners and root beer floats. We have watched her physical health decline while her mental health was still sharp as tack. Sadly, the last month of her life she had started to have several moments where she didn't know what was going on. We had numerous conversations about her death with her and we are very happy in knowing that she finally has the relief she wanted. The past year in particular was VERY hard on her and she needed help more. D and I would visit almost every Wednesday and Saturday, plus whenever she called for help. It was nice to talk to her. She was witty, smart, knew the answer to just about anything, and did a wonderful job of making you feel special and loved. I once told her that I would really miss our chats when she was gone...I will. I really enjoyed getti...
