Trip to Houston

Two weekends ago, we packed up the car and headed to Houston to visit family and celebrate all the March/April-ish birthdays in the Hlavaty family. Lucas did GREAT in the car (praise the Lord!), and he had a ton of fun playing with his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents!  We can't wait to see them all again in Destin later this summer!  Here are a few highlights of the weekend...

On Friday night we went out for Mexican with Phil's two brothers and their families. I forgot my camera, which was a shame because Lucas was FASCINATED by the mariachis, and loved "dancing" to all their music and looking at their guitars.

Saturday morning held a trip to the park for Lucas and his cousin Krysten. So much fun!  So much mulch!

Then for a little goofing around on Saturday afternoon...

Party time!  Aunt Lara ordered an AMAZING cake with copies of the animals from Lucas' month-by-month pictures. The rest of us got to blow out our candles on a homemade German chocolate cake.  Everyone got to open presents and then we just played for the rest of the (late) night.

Before we headed out on Sunday morning, Lucas got to play a little bit in Dave and Lara's pool. I think he is going to be a water bug!
