A visit from Daphne!

Daphne came this week to visit our family and go to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to find an apartment to live in as she moves there in August to be a professor at LSU! We were so glad she stopped through Houston first! We went to the pool and enjoyed the sun!
She got to accompany me on Deacon's first time at the pool! History :)
 A little handstand competition! Ella first..
Then Cavin...pretty sure Daphne had it in the bag!
 Deacon was so happy to be in the water!
I just love his happy disposition! We also went to Bahama Bucks to get a sno cone treat!
I'm not a big fan of the blue! Channing and her dad sure are!
Daphne enjoyed some blue as well! She is such a fun loving sister/Aunt and we love having her around! She taught Ella the game Dominion and did some German lessons with her and helped us do PIYO workouts and played and played some more!
Daphne and I left for a couple days to go to Baton Rouge to find her an apartment.
The drive to Baton Rouge really was pretty smooth and fast! The waters are really high due to the past rains this last month! We got there and looked at some apartments...after the first 3 I really was starting to be concerned about if we would find something and what kind of housing options she might have. We took a break and went to campus and it is really pretty. We stopped by the famous "Mike the Tiger".
The storms rolled in and we got pretty wet walking back to the car! I think it will be an adventure for Daphne to get used to all the rain!
There were some beautiful, old trees surrounding the campus!
After campus, we hit a few good apartments on a different side of town that gave us some good options, and we found one that Daphne is really excited about. I think it will be great. So we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner to celebrate a successful day, and because we were officially starving! ;)
We were tired from waking up at 3:45 and walking most of the day, but we got a little shopping in and relaxed at the hotel!
It was a quick drive back and a nice rest of the weekend. We had a fun visit and we look forward to seeing her in a week again when we go back to Utah!
