A couple weeks ago we were able to meet up with Courtney's sister Whitney and her parents in Austin. We took a couple days and visited San Antonio. Here are some pictures from our trip!
This is the San Antonio Riverwalk and Courtney's mom with Gavin. It was so beautiful!
Ah, ...the Alamo.
My kids can never visit San Antonio without going to the Rainforest Cafe. With thunder showers every few minutes, animated animals, and gigantic fish tank walls--anyone wonder why?
Whit and Gavin really bonded this trip. We had 5 adults and 5 kids, so Gavin was her kid for the weekend!
We rode the riverboats at night. It was beautiful, but the kids didn't have much time to notice. They were all so exhausted that Taylor, Dawson, and Gavin all were asleep in a couple minutes. It worked so well that we're thinking of buying a riverboat and strip of river just for this purpose...
A beautiful picture of my sis!
Part of the fun reparte that Gavin and Whit kept up for the trip.
It was Dawson's first time in a warm pool. He splashed himself into a standstill--and Courtney to a standstill too.
Strollers this trip were for the tired and grouchy--regardless of age.
Dolphins!
Dawson reached the end of his rope toward the end of the third day. Unfortunately the flying acrobats weren't even enough to distract him from the fact that he was sleep deprived, hungry, and more or less inconsolable. Whitney did Courtney the favor of holding him for awhile while he pondered on his life thus far.
Shamu. We purposely sat in a splash zone, but Shamu didn't even come close to getting us wet. Oh well.
Broc and Brynne's first roller coaster ride. I think they're hooked. Brynne kept begging for more thrilling adventures "that was fun, but not really enough" was a constant phrase. Finally the last one that we took them on was high enough (and one part sent you down backwards) that even our little dare devil turned to me and said "mom, I think I'm going to throw up." She didn't and when it was over she denied saying any such thing. No evidence--no crime.
