Persimmon picking weekend

We went to Houston over the weekend to see Mike, who was in town for a wedding. Saturday, we had hot pot with the entire family and then checked out a shopping center at The Woodlands. My parents had a family meeting at their house that evening, so after dinner, we went to Jimmy's house to put the kids to sleep. Sunday morning we went to good ole Tallowood and had lunch with the Chinese mission. As the kids napped in the car afterwards, we drove to Tomball to pick some persimmon. My mom and I left early so that I could join Mike at his friend's wedding reception at Peli Peli. I got to meet all of Mike's closest friends and had a delicious dinner of seabass and ribeye steak. Monday morning, Cora and I went shopping, and continued after meeting up all the adults (minus Dad) at The Taste of Texas. We left for Austin around five and had to make a pit stop in Bastrop since the kids were getting restless. Once again, a fun-filled weekend in H-town! :)
