Neither one of them is a native Houstonian, both were born in same city, the industrial capital of Mexico, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Both of their parents decided to provide them with a better opportunity and selected Houston as their choice. A choice that both of them have learned to love. It was hard being uprooted from their original home, but within a short time and because of their wonderful outlook in life, they have made Houston their home for good. Houston has many wonderful family happenings and it is just a wonderful playground for their growing family.

Houston has so many things to do around town and spending time visiting them with friends make is just that much more special. A nice day at toddler Tuesday at Discovery Green, a visit to the Zoo, play time at The Children’s Museum, a nice dinner after a photo shoot in Galveston at The Spot are just some of the many places we both enjoy doing as families with younger kiddos.

There are several annual events that are always so much fun! The Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo kicks out the year for us. We enjoy the entire experience and it is one that we all enjoy as a family. Next would be the Fourth of July festivities. We have been lucky enough to visit various celebrations thru years, from Freedom Over Texas, The Kemah Boardwalk and even El Franco Lee Park’s firework show, each has given use many memories to hold on to. In the fall we really look forward to the Renaissance Festival, and even when it is not officially in Houston, it is still one of our favorites as it is worth the drive. The member’s parties at The Children’s Museum are not to be missed at the end of the year. Houston offers so many options to celebrate through the entire year.
