Summer Vacation Day 3

On our third day we started off the day with a visit to an amusement park that was built in the 1920's. They have restored the old rides and this place was just perfect for Maddie and Wyatt. It was free admission and $1 rides...we spent about an hour there and the kids had a blast!

riding the boat together




of course Maddie found the pink plane




"bam bam"




he loved "flying" the airplanes








I was a little hesitant about the ferris wheel but the kids were so excited so of course I caved. They are in the blue cage close to the top.












After a quick bite at the McDonald's in downtown San Antonio, we took the kids to the Children's museum.





Wyatt driving the trolley at the entrance.






The kids put these balls up the shoots that had different passages that led to a big tub...it really was a lot cooler than I am making it sound. :-)





She has some growing to do!





So does he!





This was taken after they got to drive a "front end loader" and drop some big rocks.





Wyatt's favorite thing about this museum was the airplane. He loved being the pilot and did NOT want to take turns.




Wyatt's passenger Maddie





They had a really cool HEB shopping area for the kids. In this picture Maddie is checking out Wyatt who was buying steak and lobster! :-)






Maddie and Wyatt "milking" the cow. Maddie said, "The cow tee-tee'd on me.", when the water squirted out.




We finished the day off with a swim at the hotel.






















Summer Vacation--Day 4

On the last day we were there, I had to take a picture of the shamu elevator that we took up every day to get to our room. Wyatt and Maddie loved looking at the shamu and it is because of this picture that Wyatt overcame his fear of elevators. I promised I would put a copy of the picture in his room to look at.
We also went to the Bass Pro Shop. Nick saw it while we were driving in and I promised he could go there before we left. The kids loved seeing all the animals and the aquarium.
We also stopped in Fredricksburg on our way home and picked up some peaches...yum yum!


Super Cool Elevator...Maddie asked if we could make her door at home look like this.

Summer Pics

We had some family pics taken today and I also took the kids' summer pictures. They were real troopers...especially because they got Popsicles at the end!
