Houston - Day One

Today I have spent with my cousins.  I have learnt all about Monster High Dolls, been to Ganders Sports Emporium (to look at all the guns you can buy straight over the counter (no licence required) there were even pink guns!) and to USA Toys - where we looked at school stationery (wow! you should have seen the stickers, borders, games, school signs etc and all at cheap prices (I have to go back, as we had only seen a quarter of the store when they came and said that it was closing). 

And the for tea we went to "Texas Roadhouse" and had Bread (which was sweet and you spread with cinnamon butter - this was a starter), Rattlesnack bites (not real rattlesnake, cheese with Jalapeno peppers in bread crumbs and deep fried)  and then had ribs as a main (they slow cook them and the meat falls off the bone - yum!!!) with chips and sweet corn with butter, so much food we have some for tomorrow. 

Today I have also heard about all the creepy crawlies here including the snakes, poison ivy (well that's a plant) and fire ants - if you poke a stick at their nest (which looks like a heap of sand) they all come running out (not something you want to do with bare feet).  Hope to see none of these tomorrow.
