got beer????

2008-03-22

today was our 'adult trip' around houston. yup, we went to the oldest microbrewery in town as well as the largest liquor store in texas! the microbrewery is st. arnolds and they just had wonderful beers to taste....... as well as all the homemade root beer that you wanted too. we put a sticker on meredith's back so she could fit in with the crowd of people that were enjoying the tour with us. she got a little tiffed when daddy wouldn't share his beer but she did manage a sip of rootbeer and gave the appropriate look when she tasted it.

"icck! but i'll try another just to see why you guys are drinking it..."

we didn't take any photos of the largest liquor store.... we were too busy searching for all our favorites and cruising their gormet section. we found some interesting cheeses to try, some caviar, and some baby coconuts. we have finicky tastes don't we?????

meredith and daddy found the basketball once we were back at the house and enjoyed shooting the hoops. meredith seemed to be a natural but daddy said she needs to work on letting the ball go sometimes.

got crawfish???

2008-03-21

today was a relaxing day at the house and uncle dan had big crawfish boil party plans for this good friday!! the day started off early with the fresh crawfish in the special pool in the back yard and all the kiddos were interested in 'fishing' for crawfish as danny maintained the pool. we took a side trip during the day to explore the texas grocery store.... heb.... and meredith got to ride in the fancy race car cart. it was meant to be!

the crawfish and shrimp were really tasty and spicy. it was neat to get some good southern cooking flavors and we even dared to eat some of the spicy corn and potatoes that went into the boil.... my lips are still tingling just thinking about party :)
