San Antonio Trip!

We decided to take a little mini vacation and go to San Antonio Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.


We had SO much fun! We went to Sea World, and the Riverwalk in San Antonio one day, Natural Caverns and the San Marcos outlets...which are the best ever...the next day. We had so much fun!! We ended up getting passes for Sea World for a year, so we'll go back again for sure! We took lots of pictures, so here are a few!


Here is Tayla getting ready to explore the caverns, lol.


Here's part of us, heading into the cave.





Just some stalagmites!



and some "bacon"



This was some water..it was very wet inside the cavern!


And here are the stalactites!

I know this isn't the greatest picture, but it's the only family picture from the whole trip that we were all in together, except Dez, who took the camera for a few minutes from me to take a few pics:)

Tayla and Garrett were SO cute together. They were almost always holding hands with each other. I love the background of this picture. The picture just doesn't do it justice...it was really awesome!

I love this picture because Noah loved being one of the big kids. He loved every chance he had to walk with them, and play with them. When he could, he would copy everything they did!


I think Scott enjoyed this ride more than the children, lol


They had to ride this one like three times!

Noah was such a trooper. He took a little nap in his stroller, and when he woke up, he was so out of it. He was pretty good for such a long day!




Noah really liked Shamu! He was startled a few times because of the commotion, but he was content in watching the whales!
Had to have a pic of Shamu! Pictures are just not as cool as real life. He looks so small in this picture!

We paid almost 20 bucks for Tay to get her face painted:) It was worth it though, she was so excited and she knew exactly what she wanted...if you can't tell, she chose to be a mermaid, lol.



Here she is showing off her new look!

Here are the girls posing together, with their new faces. Riley chose a dolphin!



Noah was pretty fascinated by this penguin dressed up as a pumpkin! After a few minutes, he was giving it hugs!



Scott was trying to convince the girls it was ok to go in...this was the spooky part of Sea World, where they really decorated well for Halloween! This was suppose to be kid friendly, but Tay didn't like it too much.






After Sea World we went to the Riverwalk in San Antonio, by the Alamo, and had a delish dinner. Here are the two love birds strolling the streets, lol. This pic was referred to as the paparazzi shot!



We had so much fun with our friends. Tayla was in heaven being able to play non-stop, run around, scream, you know, all her favorite things! Sea World had lots of fun things to do for Halloween, so it was fun. She misses her little friends and on the next morning, she said she wanted to go back to our "old house", meaning the hotel we shared. She is already asking when we are going back to Sea World. Good thing we bought season tickets! I'm sure we will get good use out of them!

I love San Antonio. We took Tyler to the Natural Bridge Caverns, and he cried and cried (he was 4) because he was convinced a bear lived in the cave. Mean mom I am, I just forced him in, and he ended up okay.

Wow, it looks like so much fun and I can't believe Noah is walking so good. Love MOM
