Nick's 40th Birthday

Nick, the baby of the Boyce family, turned 40 this weekend.  Nick and family are also celebrating their new house!  They are building a house a little further out in northwest Houston.  They really did some work on their current house and it has sold, too.  Soon they will be renting their current house until the new one is ready to move into.

Sunday we went to the Ashland family picnic and Moody Gardens in Galveston.  It was our first time to the water park there in a couple of years.  They now have a small wave pool and a lazy river.  Afterwards we drove around Galveston and looked at ships and oil rigs.  The Ocean Saratoga was one of the oil rigs being worked on.  Sean's Dziadziu loves Saratoga, the race track, so we took a picture.  The Ocean Saratoga was the "other" leaking oil rig in the Gulf during the Deepwater Horizon spill last year - but not nearly as severe.
