As we crossed the border into Texas we stopped at the welcome station.
The kids love daddy's helicopter and flew it the whole time!
Friday, Chris took the day off and we drove the area getting to know the neighborhoods. The kids really didn't have fun doing this. But we spent a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon and still didn't find all the neighborhoods! Cypress is pretty big.
We did try some new restaurants. The Kolache Factory serves what we call pigs in a blanket. That is all. Except they put different things inside the roll like sausage or cheese etc. They had all different kinds.
While driving around one of the neighborhoods had a park. We let the kids out to run.
BBQ for lunch. Neat place, they cut everything in front of you and plate it up.
Back for an afternoon swim (in between looking at neighborhoods).
The apartment complex has a great pool.
Then Saturday we met up with our realtor and looked at houses. A three hour block of time turned into seven hours. The kids didn't have as much fun as I thought they would but they were troopers. We found a house the would work and meet our needs. We are still waiting to see if it actually happens or not though.
Then Sunday we met up with some friends for lunch. They warmed up their hot tub which is attached to the pool and the kids went swimming. They had the best time and we enjoyed the company. Then we all took a walk around the ponds surrounding their house.
Then the rest of the week we took it easy. I made dinner at the apartment so that we could spend time at home after Chris got off. We got into a routine of taking a walk after dinner and walking the pathways at the apartment complex. The kids loved it and I think it will become a new tradition for us to start doing.
Wednesday we went back to the house we found and made an offer. The owners are not willing to negotiate so if they change their mind and accept our offer, my hope is to be there by Thanksgiving. If they don't then Chris is going to start looking for another house.
Daddy and the kids. Everyone had a great week and we were all sorry to see it end and have to separate again.
