On November 2nd, the Texans had a home game against the Phildelphia Eagles. Thijs had tickets and Famke was going with him! Famke is a huge Texans fan so she was over the moon. JJ Watt is her favorite player and seeing him live in action made her day. Unfortunately the Texans were not able to win but a great afternoon anyway!
While biking home from school one morning this hot air balloon just glided over me. Very pretty and peaceful.
As the number in the title indicates, I have written about my daily drive before. I really thought I'd seen it all in Texas now, with regards to 'vehicles' on the road, but a few weeks ago we came across this trailing along behind a pickup truck!
A few months ago Jeanine came up with the brilliant plan to enter ourselves for a electric dance 5k run at night! Lights, music and exercise!
Brilliant plan as I said, were it not for the fact that the arctic blast had just come through and the temperatures were somewhat below average for the time of year. Combine this with some wind and rain and you could say that the circumstances were not ideal.... But as good dutchies, the weather was not going to spoil our fun and about 15 of us ran the race. Donned in several layers of clothes, combined with glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets we partied along with several thousand people. Been there, done that!
Unseasonally cold weather has taken the US in its grip. An artic blast is causing temperatures to be far below normal.
As you can see Texas is not being spared and T's might go down to -1 degC for a few hours tonight! Oh my :) Even though we have lived in warmer climates for the last 9 year now and we are not so keen on the cold weather anymore, these temperatures are no immediate reason for concern.
The school district, however, does not share this opinion and thought it necessary to give us some (well meant) advice of the approaching weather....
