San Antonio Summer Trip

The first week of August we went on a short trip to San Antonio.  Lance, Kaden and I needed to get away for a few days before school officially started for me.  We really were excited to take Kaden to Sea World, and he had a great time.  We stayed at the Riverwalk in a nice hotel, and Kaden had his own bed, and he actually slept in it all alone the whole trip.  That was a nice treat! 
My boys on the Riverwalk one evening before dinner.

I thought these two pictures would be great, but of course, got no cooperation!  Oh Well! 


We met my sister Tonya and her family at Sea World or "Sea Weld" as Kaden loving refers to it, with her family.  We had the best day.  (Except the extremely nasty, hot day!)

Kaden LOVED the shows, we were so glad!
Cousins Lewis & Kaden had the best time together, but it was SO hot for little guys!

We now know that you ALWAYS wear a swimsuit to Sea World!  And, take a dry set of clothes as well.  We didn't wear swimwear and the majority of the stuff on a 100 plus degree day is water!  DUH!  Now we know.  And now you know.  Come prepared to get wet!
Kaden LOVED the splash pad!

I am thinking of cutting my hair this short again.  It has already grown out a lot and is getting to a BLAH place.  It was so easy and fun at this length.

Everyone, but me, the photographer...

The end of a very HOT day and we all took pictures before leaving the park..  This is A.J. and Lewis!

Let's just say that we may have almost got kicked out for this, but we had already exited the main park, this is outside their front gate, and Kaden wanted to ride Shamu.  And, I figured that as much as our Sea World tickets cost, we could at least let him get a ride in.  Ha!

At this point we were approached by security.  Oops!  And, Kaden threw the biggest screaming fit of his life, and screamed until he fell asleep much later that night because he wanted to stay at 'Sea Weld!'  Bless his heart.

I am so thankful we got to spend this great day with my sister and her family in San Antonio.  We had a great get away.  We are excited to go again next summer!

It is still exciting seeing the pictures as a memory of how much we laughed, chased, got to spend time with our families! I am so thankful we are closer and will have many more visits. It's hard to believe we are back in Texas, like you and Nana Jettie have said "it's about time". And time is precious with those you love. XOXOXOXOXO Kaden you know you don't have to grow up so fast, you are such a blessing sweet boy.
