Christmas 2014 Dance Competition

I know this is tricky to post just after the 2015 holidays, but I never posted our Christmas Dance Competition from 2014. So, without further delay, I present you with the 2014 Christmas Dance Competition. I didn’t edit out any of the dance scenes. You may want to fast forward through them. Enjoy:

George’s homemade rocket

George dreamed up and designed a homemade rocket. He used the materials he had access to and built it to his design. He then invited his good friend Dean over to help him launch the rocket. It didn’t go as high as they wanted it to, but they learned a lot and George is busy scheming the next version of the rocket now. As you read this he might be half way to the moon.

Sharkie claymation movie

Clara received a claymation movie making kit from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas. This is the first film she created.

Video Montage Houston, first three months

Here’s a fun montage showing some fun clips from our first three months in Houston. The rain here is a lot of run because it’s warm. The kids love to run and get soaked. There is also some interesting wildlife here, like Armadillos.

This video plays fine in Chrome and Firefox. I couldn’t make it play in Internet Explorer (IE), but you shouldn’t be using IE anyway.

Downtown Houston aquarium

One Saturday when I had some work I had to get done, brave Rachel took the kids to the downtown Houston Aquarium. There were fun rides, including a train ride where the kids heard about a shark the aquarium had years ago that was never seen after a major flood and storm. Just at the peak of the story, water sprayed all over them and a shark jumped out of the wall (think Lagoon haunted house rides).
