More Hansons and Franks in Houston

Rebecca and John, Neil's sister and brother and their families came for a visit for a week earlier this month. We had a great time with them. You can see more pictures of their time here on posts on both of their blogs (see links on the right). There were 13 people in all, 6 adults, 5 children, and two infants (Julia and James, John's youngest, who is just a month older than Julia). It was great to have so much family around, the house was full of children playing and having fun.

We started the trip slowly, just hanging out for most of the first day, although Rebecca and Ryan took their kids over to the Museum of Natural Science, where they had a good time. The second day John and Amy treated all of us to lunch at Fogo de Chao, a great churrascarria restaurant (Brazilian barbeque) and we got family portraits taken and some prints made.

Saturday we got out of the house, going out to the park by Lake Houston for a barbeque. Here are Rebecca, John and Rebecca's youngest, Rylan serving themselves lunch.

Thanks to all of the napping, at the end of the day when it was time to go back into her carseat, Julia was a happy camper (or is that picnicer?).
