San Antonio '09

This year I decided that I along with all three kids would tag along with Craig to San Antonio. He went down there for work, so we made a little vacation out of it. On the trip down we stayed with some friends in the Dallas area, who just recently moved down there. It was a great stopping point for our long trip. Glad the Tindles were up for some company, with a newborn and a new home. Thanks! The next day we left early enough to make it to Sea World for a couple of hours. We saw the Viva show (dolphins) and the Believe show (Shamu) the first day. The next three days I was stuck in the hotel room with all three kids by myself, no vehicle. It was actually a one-bedroom suite, so it wasn't entirely crowded. Every night after Craig got off work, we went to the hotel pool and swam. The kids got good at doing tricks. Friday after Craig got off work, we went back to SeaWorld and rode some rides and tried to see the Sea Lion show, but it started raining and cancelled the show along with the rides. We left for the day and went back on Saturday. We saw the 4-D pirate show (which the kids disliked very much) and the Viva show again. Camdyn and Carter rode their first roller coaster and both loved it. We then went to the water park and spent several hours there. After a long day at Sea World we drove to Austin where we stayed with some family friends who had also invited some college friends over. We had a good visit with the Ellis's and Heijls! On the last stretch home we stopped by the Bedicheks in the Fort Worth area and visited with them for a couple of hours. The kids played together really well. It was a good trip! Thanks to everyone who let us take a break at your house.

Collin's 1st Birthday!

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated Collin's 1st Birthday! Laura's parents came down and we celebrated Collin's and Laura's Dads birthdays, although Collin got all the presents. Sorry Roger. Collin enjoyed the cake a lot more than either of his siblings, but didn't care for the presents.
