Stupid Slide show!!!

It won't put all the pic's I uploaded on the slide show. Here are the rest. Alright, Kay, I guess I didn't give enough details! We left Friday (10th) and came home on Tuesday. We missed all the yucky weather! yea! We stayed at the Crowne Plaza on Riverwalk. It was at the opposite end from the Alamo and stuff. But it sure was nice. The pool was on the 3rd floor roof--kids thought it was too cool. The weather was perfect. I will never go to SA in summer again if I can help it. We saw 2 Shamu shows, and I added the house of horror movies at the wax house that scared Aidan to death when we went through! That was kinda unexpected.

Sea World

I forgot Amy has all the acquarium pictures!! Darn it. My picture w/ Oprah or the mammoth skeleton didn't make it in either, hmmm. Guess I missed some :-) I'll add them.

San Antonio Trip

Wow, I haven't written in over a week. Well, we left on the 10th for San Antonio w/ the Lester's. We haven't been on a vacation in over 3 years--it felt so good to get away with our family!! San Antonio is perfect this time of year. The boys loved Shamu and the sharks, of course. Alek rode the Steel eel roller coaster. And Amy actually got me on the Great White one! Aidan rode the Shamu coaster with Darby. He was a little concerned at first, but after the first curve he was s miling!



We also went to Mi Tierria to eat and had them do a birthday for Alek--he actually smiled with a sombrero on! And Kurt had real Menudo w/ Jeremy. UUUGGGHHH! Halloween was at Sea World all decorated up and they had people in costumes scaring people in one area at different times--Amy & I took unsuspecting Alek and Jake down the scare zone Sunday night--I laughed so hard at those two boys. Alek love's Ripley's so we went to that museum and the wax museum. The halloween ones scared Aidan--more intense than I remembered! I wanted to thank my mother-in-law for dogsitting for us, and my parents for some extra spending money. We were able to stay a day longer than we had planned and really relax and just do nothing. It was great! This is one of the first family trips we actually feel refer
