Tomball Nights

Last Friday night we drove about 20 minutes to a little town just outside the city for their annual city celebration. Bryan has a co-worker who lives in town and he said that it was a great family event and even suggested a restaurant to try. So Friday at 5:00 we were off!

We parked the car and played on the local train tracks for a bit (Henry liked it, but was fairly scared!)

 We sat down for a little dinner at a new Mexican restaurant in town. We decided to sit outside and listen to the live music....

 Henry had his first "virgin" drink. He liked it!

It was hot y'all! Don't believe me? This is what Liz's head looked like after about 20 minutes!

After dinner, Henry wanted to dance. I am pretty sure he is break dancing here. He is rad.

Henry sat still long enough for his face to be painted (yes, it was 30 seconds. That is a LONG time)

He demanded a ride on this kiddie ferris wheel (which shocked us) but, he loved it!

The parade was a parade of lights, really pretty fun. The start of the parade had all of the city emergency vehicles with their lights and sirens. He thought it was too loud. But he thought it was "awesomes". We told him that he would have to ask Papa about his daddy, a police chief for the city of Pittsburgh. He thought that was pretty cool too!

Liz was pretty tired at parade time... but she still made it though a sucker :)

It was totally worth the drive and the cranky Saturday. We danced, had snow cones, laughed lots and made such a fun family memory!
