San Antonio

a few pictures from our recent trip.

Shortly after getting checked into our hotel we headed to the Rivercenter Mall via the Riverwalk. Aiden was very impressed with it and liked the waterfalls along the way.

Our first activity was the Dinosaur-Quest, which the boys loved of course...even with out a T-Rex. 

Our second day was cold and wet so we did some indoor things and looked around the Alamo. 

 The weather was nice our last day so we went to the Wildlife Ranch before driving home.

Ten Things

For this month's Ten Things I'm going to do a highlight of our recent vacation.

 Picking veggies from the garden. The boys were really impressed with the garden (don't think they ever saw a real one) and was asking what each plant was.

 Having fun at the Mall of America.

 Sea Life at the Mall of America.

 Helping Grandpa plant some flowers

Checking out the Dino's at the MN Zoo. It was only like 98F this day. So much for getting away from the heat.

 Visiting the puppies and Uncle Kev.

 Hanging with cousins...Elizabeth

and Carmine

 Helping Grandma and hanging outside. Temps are much better.

Seeing the Twins at their new stadium.

Ten Things is part of Shimelle's10 Things.

Meeting Carmine

We traveled to CT to visit my sister-in-law and brother-in-law and to meet Carmine. The boys were very excited to meet their cousin.

Family

As we get ready for our road trip to Wis and MN to visit family, I thought I post this picture from the family reunion last year....Aiden and Logan with their second cousins! I hope we see them all again this year!

Vacation highlights

We had a great vacation to FL. Our first with both boys and a great learning experience for next time.
Some highlights:
Logan loved Aiden's bed and would crawl onto it all the time even when Aiden was sleeping in it.


We ate at T-REX in Downtown Disney. I must say Aiden really like the place!

We spent one day at SeaWorld. Aiden wanted to see "another swimming animal." He loved the Shamu show. Logan was even pointing at the orcas.

The Launch...the reason for the trip. Bill got a causeway pass last min which was great. We got there really early and waited. The camera's didn't work too well with the dark, the distance and a baby in my lap, so only a couple of pic. I didn't have the camera out for the launch because I didn't think they would really turn out and I didn't want to be distracted.

This is us waiting at about 4:30 am. Aiden was awake from ~1 to ~5 then crashed in the van for about an hour before lift off. Logan fell asleep in my arms shortly after this picture till close to launch time

A day at Disney

Meeting Mickey...Aiden wasn't too happy when it was actually his turn. The same for Tigger and Pooh.

Aiden loved the rides! Driving with Daddy. He liked when the car bumped the guide rails.
