Fun Friday!

Ty, Olivia & Trace

Yesterday, our good friends from Beaumont, Euric, Kristi and their two boys, Ty (10) and Trace (6) made a trip to Houston to see us. We went to Beaumont about 3 weeks ago and had dinner with them and while we were there we planned a shopping and a zoo trip. Kristi and I went shopping while the guys took the kids to the zoo. Kristi and I went down Harwin street looking for some good finds. At first we were shopping where the majority of the jewelry is but Kristi wanted to shop for bags. She went a couple of years but couldn't remember the location of the handbag shops. I had never been there before so I wasn't sure where to go so we got in the car and went all the way down Harwin. We lucked out because Kristi recognized the warehouses with the handbag shops. We managed to find several good purses but we had to ask for them and had to go into the "back" room in order to see them. Needless to say we each bought 2 purses and a pair of sunglasses for a great price. We really had a good time but there were a couple of situations where we got a little nervous because there were some nefarious looking people but we managed to stay safe. The guys took the kids to the zoo and they had a wonderful time. Peter said it was the best time he and Olivia have had at the zoo. It is much more fun when you take more kids. After the zoo and shopping we met up with the guys at one of my favorite restaurants, Spaghetti Western. They have great Italian food and Italian margarita's. The food was good and it was fun to see Olivia interact with the boys. When they walked in she was holding Ty's hand. Peter told me she loved hanging out with them. We all had a good time and are looking forward to the next get together.
