San Antonio Weekend


GISD was smart enough to put fair day and staff development back to back so we get a 4 day weekend each October. We headed down to good ole San Antonio for the long weekend.
Sea World - this was our 3rd trip as a family (and our last until we have grandkids- 20 years from now!!) It was awesome, the weather was perfect, the crowds were minimal, the shows- the same as the last 2 trips!! But....the kids LOVED It!!!
Feeding the dolphins, very cool! Our friend Flipper
We let Madison bring a friend along for the weekend! Sweet Alyssa was such a great guest, she tolerated the little ones great! She is the youngest of four kids so she is used to being on the other side, she got a real taste of what being the oldest feels like!


I think this picture is hilarious!!!! Greg crawling out of the tunnel...the kids crawled through tube after tube after tube! McKenze and Natalie on their first "BIG" roller coaster!
Here was there final verdict:
Our hotel was AWESOME!!!! We got an Awesome deal at the Hyatt Hill Country's Wild Oak Ranch. They have a sand beach, lazy river, water slides (the water was headed!) and our room was HUGE!! Even the big girls had their own space!

McKenzie coming down the slide! Everyone did it, even my baby Maddox! We could see him flipping and turning all the way down, but he came out smiling! (after the first time, I made him ride with mommy or daddy...I was afraid he was to little)

Floating in the lazy river!
Cute Kids!

What is San Antonio without some good mexican food???
Look at all those kids!!!
MaryCate!!!!
The big girls!!!
Grego enjoying fried ice cream! We know how to party!
We had an awesome trip with our buddies the Newhouse family! Our kids are such good friends, and so are we! That makes for a great travel experience!!
