...and then there were THE REST OF THE PICS...

Our trip was amazing (have I said that enough times lately???) Sorry - probably a little obnoxious, but it WAS really...well...you know ;)

We spent a lot of time on the water. The kids did some tubing, lots of swimming and a little fishing with the neighbor boy...


We played a lot at Nana and Bapa's house...
Baby crashed with Bapa - awwwww.....
We did a LOT of hanging out in the back yard...best place in TX...seriously...
Monkey discovered his love of measuring...
Monkey spent a lot of time in the buff...





Again, with the back yard...even Pipps had fun in the pool...
Oh, and there was the day we took out the slip n' slide...


All in all, a great trip. One we'll take again....
Thanks again Nana and Bapa - we love you guys and miss you!!!

I Left My Heart in San Antone...

Ok, so I didn't. I only left a few dollars there when I bought lunch along the Riverwalk, but what can I say...it seemed like a catchy title for this series of pics :)


Of course we went to the Alamo...I don't think you can miss it :)

Here's Pipps standing in front of a building we thought was really neat...the architecture in SA is pretty amazing...
The infamous River Walk...


Baby eating his toes...we were still at the Alamo waiting for Nana to buy souvenirs...Monkey got a coon-skin cap, the older kids picked out rocks...seriously....little tiny polished rocks. They are definitely not my real children ;0)
Even the cops at the Alamo have a swagger in their step ;) (Can I get a Yee-Haw!!!)
I wish we grew trees like this here...




The Coolest Natural Springs EVER...

Krause Springs - ever heard of it? If not, MAKE IT A DESTINATION...it's amazing.
You can read about it here









Our Safari in Texas...

One day when we were in TX, we went here.
I seriously don't think my kids have ever had such a great time. It was really cool.
We rode in a big wagon behind a tractor and with our huge bucket of feed, the animals were eating right out of our hands. It was incredible...












My Mother's Garden

I doubt that I will ever be a great gardener. My mother and I may have many things in common, but I'm pretty sure this isn't one of them. I just don't have the patience - or maybe I do - but it's put to use raising 4 kids, 3 of whom are LOUD boys :)

Anyway, I just wanted to share these. She has a wonderful back yard...it's one of the most relaxing places I've ever been...
