Last Saturday we headed to Houston because Bradley had 3 kids showing pigs Sunday, so we made a mini vacation out of it. Our first stop was the Galleria so Emory could ice skate. She has been wanting to ice skate for some time now and was super excited.
She did great! She really picked it up fast and before long was skating away from the wall.
Cason spent all of 1 minute on the ice and was done. He said it was too slippery and decided that McDonald's fries sounded better!
After ice skating we checked in to the hotel and then headed to "barrel cracker" which is Cason's new favorite restaurant. After dinner the kids and Bradley played a game of checkers. Emory was studying the board looking for the right move.
There was a Bass Pro Shop by the restaurant so we of course had to stop.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
The next morning bright and early we headed to the HLSR. While Bradley tended to students and pigs the kids and I checked out all the sights. We watched baby chicks hatch.
We also checked out the two day old chicks.
Cason found a friend! This little chick followed him around, which he thought was funny. We also saw baby pigs and cows, including twin calves.
We also rode horses!
That afternoon we took a few silly pictures before heading up to the second floor to take a rest. Basically I sat in a small hallway off the main hall while both kids slept for about 2 hours.
My two sweetpeas!
They are wearing their new hats they picked out with Christmas money.
Emory cheesing and Cason being silly.
Cason's face cracks me up. He was over taking pictures and super tired.
This is the hallway we napped in.
We left about 8:00 that evening which made for a long day but the kids had a blast on our mini spring break vacation! Also one of Bradley's kids made the sale with his pig!
