San Antonio

Welcome to Sand and Tonio, according to Hayla. It was hot but we had a lot of fun. Here the kids are in our hotel room. Yes they are jumping on their bed. That's what daddy says we do, " We don't jump on our beds we jump on hotel beds".


We didn't go in the Alamo, but took a photo outside. After going to see Ice in December and someone scaled an ice sculputre as soon as my back was turned I thought we just needed to skip the Alamo.

Sea World

We spent one day at Sea World and the kids loved it!!!!

We fed dolphins!

We went swimming in several areas. We took the kids on their first water slide. They laughed and squealed all the way down. In the evening we went and saw the shows, we saw the "sea tigers" and "shampoo" ( the words of my children). They loved them all except for the very end of the Shamu show when we got soaked.

Riverwalk

We went to the riverwalk two nights. It was so beautiful down there. This was my first time on the riverwalk

One evening after dinner Shane saw this pumpkin carriage. We tried to avoid it at all cost but as we drove back to our hotel we passed it parked and Hayla's face lit up. So the next evening we had dinner on the riverwalk we went and found it so she could ride in it. She truly enjoyed it.

Shane took us to a chocolate factory. The kids each got to pick out one piece. They chose a chocolate truffle which was gone in a matter of minutes.

One night we had dinner in the Rain Forest Cafe. The boys loved it. Hayla hated it. She kept her hands on her ears the whole time we were in there. Except when they came to take her picture, then she posed very nicely.

It was a wonderful relaxing vacation. Swimming every day. Naps every afternoon. I could get use to that kind of life.

San Marcos

We went on vacation to San Marcos and then San Antonion this year with Shane's Parents.

While in San Marcos we took the glass bottom boat rides. This was really fun. The kids could look through the bottom of the boat and sea fish and turtles in crystal clear water.

We also went to the snake farm. The kids thought it was really cool being that close to so many snakes. What I thought was cool was hearing a rattle snake. They had snakes of every size. The one in the yellow cage below was so big it could swallow a kid whole. Comforting huh? :)

Then on our way into San Antonio we stopped at Natural Bridge Caverns Wildlife park. We drove through and fed animals from the car. They had a petting zoo where the kids fed goats.

Near the petting zoo they had this little maternity area. There were these little lemurs that kept climbing in and out of their cage. It drove the mother crazy.

Tiplets 3rd Birthday

The kids turned 3 on May 28th. It is so hard to believe that it has been three years. They are all doing so well and you would never guess that they were 12 weeks early.

Miss Ma'am is still the princess. She will even tell you I am daddy's princess.

Little Man is Mr. Funny Man. He likes to so things to make us laugh and is always playing around.

Then there is Big D. He can be so serious and then so playful. He loves to dress up and it drives Shane crazy because he likes to wear Hayla's dress up shoes.
