San Antonio

Over the weekend, we went on a super fun, super fast trip to San Antonio. Grant's finally done with his busy season and quarters so we're now able to start using some of his vacation time and paternity leave that he's built up :) He took Friday off and we headed out first thing that morning!
The girls were both dressed in their crab outfits for Sea World, but I decided we should take pictures before heading out, just in case we should have an emergency on the way. That was a good call on my part because when we made our stop at buc-ees, Addie had had a huge blowout! That was fun! Thankfully, I came prepared and had another sea themed onesie on hand ;)





Sea World was so much fun! We went on the perfect day! It wasn't too crowded because everyone's still in school and the weather was beautiful! I wasn't sure if Emily would be able to sit through all of the shows, but she LOVED them! I wish I had taken a picture of her watching because she was completely entranced. Grant and I really enjoyed them, too. It's amazing what these creatures can do! We saw 3 shows: one with dolphins, beluga whales, and acrobats; one with killer whales (including an adorable baby whale); and one with dogs, cats, birds, pigs, etc. They were all phenomenal! I think we need to make it an annual tradition :)



Emily tried her first dippin' dots


she was so tired! she fell asleep right after we got in the car with her souvenir dolphin :)

Emily thought it was so cool sleeping at a hotel! Grant taught her the joys of jumping on hotel beds :) Friday night we walked around the riverwalk and had mexican for dinner. Then Saturday morning we went back to the riverwalk for a boat tour. We then walked to the alamo and spent a little bit of time there. And then we headed home! It was a whirlwind of a trip, but I'm so glad we did it! We had a blast!


baby ducks on the river :)

Addie had another blowout while we were on the boat (hence the blanket protecting my clothes)



Addie was a trooper the whole trip! she did great (minus the two wardrobe changes)

You can
certainly tell that it was a fun filled day for each of you and how adorable to have the girls in their 'sea world" outfits!
