Holy Hail-storm Batman!

Last week North Texas was hit with a nasty storm, and Mansfield definitely wasn't spared. This was definitely the worst storm I have ever seen next to a hurricane. The winds were between 60-80 mph, and so many trees were just sideways. The hail was crazy!!! It looked like it had snowed in our yard. And you can't really tell from the pictures, but we had a raging river in our street. It was unbelievable. Thankfully the boys slept through it all.

Last of San Antonio pictures

Here's the last of the pics. We actually went to Riverwalk the first day, so those are backwards. We rode a boat down the river and the boys waved at everyone walking around. We visited my college roommate Leslie and her family on our last night--it was great to see them again. All in all, a great vacation!!!

More San Antonio Pics

Sea World has definitely changed since I went as a kid. There are a bunch of big roller coaster rides there now, and some water rides too. There is also a water park but it wasn't open. Blake loved the Shamu roller coaster ride and rode it 3 or 4 times with Daddy. Cody and I got soaked on the river ride, but it was still fun.

Trip to San Antonio

We took a trip to San Antonio with the boys in early April. It was our first "family vacation" where we weren't traveling to see family. We spent 3 days there and had a great time. The weather was fantastic the whole time. We walked around on the Riverwalk, saw the Alamo, saw a 3-D Dinosaur movie (Cody wasn't too keen on that, Blakey tried to touch them the whole time), and of course we went to Sea World!! The boys loved staying in the hotel, and we ALL had a great time at Sea World. Cody says his favorite was the dolphins, and Blake liked Shamu (or Shampu). Definitely somewhere we will go again!!
