Back during spring break (two weeks ago), yes my blogging this year is few and far between. My brother’s family came and visited from Austin.  They stayed up at Lake Conroe at La Torretta Lake Resort, and we joined them for a day at the pool.

Lake Conroe

That was our first experience at Lake Conroe, and its really pretty! I actually felt like I was no longer in Texas.  The hotel had a fun water park with slides, a play area, and a lazy river.  The boys were nice enough to order their wives pina coladas!

Lazy river

The weather is pretty good here in Houston.  I think Spring is finally here.  I don’t know how the kids could swim in the unheated pools though. Suzette and I covered ourselves in towels to stay warm.  So much for trying to get rid of my shockingly white legs.

A few days later, we met up with them at the Houston rodeo.  The food at the rodeo is amazing. More specifically, the cowboy burrito, steak on a stick, and roasted corn on the cob!

I was really sad that we couldn’t go to Rascal Flatts the week before, but I was stuck in the hospital, so we didn’t use our tickets.  Keith Urban was performing instead.  Maybe I didn’t enjoy him because I’m not too familiar with his songs, but I hate it when you go to see a concert and the artist lets the audience sing the lyrics.  Seriously, “I came to your concert to hear you sing, not the stupid person sitting next to me.” (no, Fernando I’m not referring to you, or anyone else in my fam).

Next year I will be content with just eating the food, and maybe watch a little mutton bustin.
