Texas Summer Trip Part 3

After the visit with Pops, we drove back to Houston to finish up our Texas trip for the summer.   The evening we returned, we went with Gigi to see the Sugar Land Skeeter's play in Constellation Field, and ironic enough, they were playing the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, whose home field is just 45 minutes from us in Maryland.   Constellation field is a wonderfully family friendly and fun park!  There is a splash pad, a huge playground, bounce houses, a carousel, and so much more!  The kids did great and in letting us watch half of the game before we the playing started.

 

 

 And the fun didn't stop there!!! The next day we hit Kemah for even more fun!!!  Good food, fun in the sun, lots of rides and so many giggles!!!  And most importantly, Gigi and Nico finally got to ride the Ferris Wheel together!  

 

Our last day in Houston before we head back up north we had big plans....Gigi bought tickets for the all of us to see the Broadway musical of Little Mermaid!!!  I am pretty sure I must have been the most excited out of all of us!  So to get ready, Natalee had her finger and toe nails painted for the first time, new shoes found to match the Ariel costume dress we came across!!  Natalee completely looked the part.  Before the show, we had dinner at Birraporrettis, which is a tradition I had with my dad. He always had season tickets to the Broadway series in Houston and we would always go to Birraporettis either before or after the shows.  Overall, during the show, Natalee did well. Although, other might not have thought so.  I brought her IPad to try to help her in case she got fussy, but we were asked to turn it off.  Of course, as soon as we took it away from her, she began wailing. That did not go well. So we moved seats, to some that were more isolated and gave her back the iPad.  From this point forward, again, we thought she did wonderfully! However, there apparently were some others who did not appreciate Natalee saying "Mermaid" when Ariel would come out on to the stage.  I guess some people who expect perfection should not come to a performance of a Disney children's story. I am 100% sure that this is the first of many Broadway musicals Nico and Natalee will be attending.
