The Riverwalk
If you've never been to San Antonio, it's a great place to visit...fun, fun, fun. These were some of the sights from the boat ride we went on going down the river. This was my 4th (maybe) time to do the boat ride, but it's enjoyable every time!

The Kiddie Park
This park is just the right size for the kids. Claire was pretty bored with most of the rides, actually, but it was still fun. Weird thing is is that they had to close down a few months ago because a child was thrown from a little rollercoaster. Now huge "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT" signs are hanging everywhere and the rollercoaster is dismantled!

Bath Time With the Giant Duck
At my Anut Sharon and Uncle Jim's house. If you ask Claire what her favorite part of Texas vacation was, she'll tell you it was bath time with the duckie...and thanks to Sharon and Pawpaw for singing the rubber duckie song. (Hi Sharon ;))!!!!

Enchanted Rock

We ran into some long time friends coming down the rock. They were heading up, and we were finishing. It's a small small world, huh!

The Real Reason We Went
My dad's dad (Grandpa) is 94 years young. He thoroughly enjoyed watching the kids play at his feet. He lives with my dad's sister and her husband. He still reads the paper every morning, with his breakfast, and is always interested in what the interest rates are doing =).

This was Adam's parents first time to San Antonio, we enjoyed all the time we got to spend with them. My dad came also, so the kiddo's had plenty of grandparents to play with on this trip.

    When we went to Disney World many years ago, we rounded a corner and nearly ran into our Kroger's produce manager and his family. We all just stopped and looked at each other for a second, and then of course did the "it's a small world" thing (which has extra meaning in Disney World). :-)

    It looks like you guys had so much fun! My mother's heart skipped a beat seeing that picture of Adam jumping with M. I don't think I could have watched!

    Well,it definitely needed to be done. And I am definitely glad to have it done. Think we will put the things back right now without flooring.... just to get them out of the middle of the living room... until we decide WHAT we are going to do in the bathroom. And yes, it feels good to have that job behind me, although what I had planned on doing this week was making Ems a skirt.
