San Antonio Trip 2013

We had the chance to take a little trip to San Antonio this week and meet Uncle Mike and KK down there. So we loaded up later Thursday night after Harper got out of school so that we could make some headway on the driving. We ended up making it Austin and stayed the first night there. Lillian was over the road trip at that point and so we stopped and got in bed. Then early Friday morning we all loaded up and met Uncle Mike and KK at the hotel in SA around 11. We quickly decided to go to the Children's Museum downtown and play. It turned out to be such a cool children's museum and we all really had such a great time. Even Mimi played a little dress up.

Look who is riding the plane.



Photo bomb Daddy ! HAHA!!




Then after a little fun there we headed down to the river walk to have some dinner.  We walked and watched the boats and had a little Mexican food. We really had fun watching the ducks harassing the people eating for food. Harper thought that was so funny.

Could she love him anymore?



Spending some time with KK.



We then headed back to get some rest for the next day. We got up early and headed to SEA WORLD....  The girls did amazing all day at Sea world and Harper loved all the animals. The weather was amazing and we watched some amazing shows. Even had the chance to feed the dolphins.






I think Mommy had the most fun feeding the dolphins.

What a day. We were exhausted! But everyone had so much fun. I was somewhat anxious about doing Sea World with both girls as young as they are but it went great. We left and took a good nap in the car and then met Jeff and Brandi for dinner at the food truck park. We had some yummy food and were able to catch up and then headed home to relax and get ready for our next big day. Then for our final day we got up and headed to the San Antonio zoo. I love the zoo ! And the best part of this zoo was the HIPPO.... Harper finally saw a live HIPPO. Weather was again amazing and we had a great time.


OH a bear's life!

Love these two.

After we played at the zoo we let the girls take a nap in the car and headed over to an outdoor mall. After a long day we headed back to the hotel and ordered a steak meal to go and all vegged out together and watched television.

It was so sad to say goodbye to Uncle Mike and KK but the next morning everyone headed home. Brad, Mimi and I took the kids to the Drive thru Safari. I think Harper really enjoyed the safari and I have to say we did get some pretty good laughs. Best part was the Ostrich.

Here he comes.







Zebra's are so beautiful.





This guy tried to stick his head in our car. That is a really big BEAK..








We had such a great time on our trip and the kids did so great. Maybe next trip I will get brave and we will go a little further away. I have to say we also had a cold front while we were down there which made it even more amazing with temperatures in the 70's.
