Our Last Day in San Antonio

We didn't have to catch our flight until later in the afternoon. We had to be out of our hotel at 1:00, so we swam in the morning and then found somewhere indoors to be...the wax museum and Ripley's Believe it or Not!

Hayden in the world's largest tire!

with the captain of the Titanic

(Hayden says it's his favorite

movie, he saw it at a friend's house)

with Little Red Riding Hood

(her favorite story)

with Shirley Temple(hayden's fav drink)

with the Constitution

Hannah Montana

i know, i know Oprah is bad...i just

thought this was hilarious though!

More San Antonio...

In the hot tub at our hotel

Excited to go to Rain Forest Cafe after
dinner for a toy

Dancing to the band that was playing...

San Antonio Part Dos

Schlitterbahn - the kids LOVED it! By far the neatest water park(there are 3) we have ever been to.

***disclaimer...there are more pictures of Hadley

because the boys were always off on the big rides

and I always have the camera!

San Antonio Part Uno

We took the kiddos to San Antonio for a vacation. We had never been...

We hit Sea World the first full day we were there!


We got there EARLY and we were able to feed the dolphins.


I think this was my favorite part of the trip, it was so
neat to be that close to them!

Then we hit the pirate 3D show

(just wanted to say how much

i LOVE hadley's outfit. Kylie and I

had these in every color when we

were little)

We thought it would be cool for the kids

to 'Dine with Shamu'. We got to go "behind

the scenes" and get close to the whales and

ask the trainers questions.

It was a pretty amazing experience to be that close!

Early 4th

A few nights before the 4th we went out to a random road to test

our aresonal of fireworks. We wanted to see what all we had and if we

needed to get more of something before the 4th! i'm pretty sure

some of our stash wouldn't be allowed to be shot off in neighborhood.

this year drew let hayden shoot off anything he wanted!

It did make me nervous when hayden was holding a roman

candle that was lit in the air. then drew threw something that

made loud noise at his feet. he started to aim the roman candle at us

while he was screaming...not good...but it was funny.

Hadley wasn't interested in doing any...she just stood back

and watched the boys...and did ballet moves.

"Safety Sally" (drew) made sure both kids

were wearing shoes and socks so they

wouldn't blow their toes off. i'm not sure crocs

are explosion proof though...

Together at last...

After 4 months we got to see our sweet cousin and nephew, Brooks!

Aunt Courtney and Brooks came to Kansas to visit.

He had changed so much!

We spent the 1st day at the water park and all of the kids had a great time...

Brooks just sat in the water and watched them and

they'd swim by and play with him.

They played in the water on grammy's deck and in the lake
behind their house...

Grandpa and Grammy had a cookout for all the

relatives to come over and see all the kiddos!

with all their grandkids

Hayden and Hadley and both great-grandmas

Fun was had by all and we can't wait to see them again!
