Near the tail end of April I received a phone call from Make-a-Wish letting me know Hakeem Olajuwon, NBA and Houston Rockets basketball legend, has agreed to meet with Kate.

On our first night in Houston, Kate and I visited James Harden's restaurant named 13 after his jersey number when he played for the Rockets. The vibe was incredibly cool and the food was deeeeelicious.  Unfortunately there were no James Harden sightings but that was also to be expected since his current team, the Philadelphia Sixers, are in the NBA play-offs.  Here's a quick snap of the girls at breakfast the next morning.

As soon as the sun was up these girls, especially Natalie, were ready to take a dip in the outdoor hotel pool
