Mom and Glenn came to visit us last weekend, and it was so nice to have them.
They kept Ella home for a party day on Friday. They went back to Schlitterbahn, the water park in Galveston, and then spent the night in a hotel.
Making a treasure box, which she has slept with every night since
Steve & I went out downtown on Friday night and had a nice dinner and went bowling at Lucky Strike, a bowling alley/bar. We haven't been bowling in years but it was a lot of fun and I even beat him in one game. We stayed at a hotel and spent a few hours at the pool in the morning, it was so nice to get to read and relax and eat a leisurely breakfast.
We had a nice afternoon and evening on Saturday and then on Sunday after church, Mom, Ella and I went to the Downtown Aquarium.

Alligators resting together. The one on top got up and swam around, it was cute watching him swim.

Petting a horsehoe crab
And my favorite part - petting the stingrays!
They also had White Tigers, they took turns being active and were really neat to watch
In addition to the aquarium inside, there was a ton of stuff outside, almost like a carnival with rides and even a splash pad. It was too hot to do much but we did go for a ride on the ferris wheel.
When we got home, Ella was very excited to finally get to try out her Snoopy Sno-Cone maker and here they are making snow cones together.
It was a great visit and we are already looking forward to the next one!
