Houston- Been there, done that, got a t-shirt!

Well, we didn't actually get t-shirts, but we did just get back! Jared was going out to interview at the University of Texas on Thursday and Friday. I came along so I could hang out with our Awesome Allen family while he was busy at the school. While we were there I was able to visit the Holocaust museum with Dad Allen, Douglas, and Nikki. We also got a great tour of downtown Houston - thanks Dad! Friday evening we got to have family pictures taken (to be added later). They all turned out so great, and we had such a fun time taking them! Derek's Eagle Court of Honor was held on Saturday. Getting ready for the Court of Honor turned out to be a little crazy since it was raining pretty much all day. Here is a great picture of Jared and Kurtis fixing the gutter, during the rain storm, so we all wouldn't get dripped on during the program. Don't they both look so cold?

Luckily, the rain cleared up and we had perfect weather for the Court of Honor. To start out, Dillon played the National Anthem on his bassoon. He did such an awesome job!!!

Here is a picture of the new Eagle Scout Derek with our old Bishop.

Congrats on your Eagle Derek. We are so proud of you!!!
Like always, our trip went way too fast. But we did have a ton of fun and can't wait to visit again!
