San Antonio

Last week the boys and I joined Blake on his work trip to San Antonio. Oh man were the boys excited! We talked about the 'bacation' all week and haven't stopped talking about it since. We stopped in Gruene for lunch then continued on to our hotel in San Antonio. We just stayed one night (I'm sure the other hotel guests were thankful for this :)) but we packed in lots of activities and it was enough to leave a lasting impression on the boys. It's the small things with kids, and it is so fun to be able to make them so happy with a simple trip and a night in a hotel.

Edited to add some of Brady's best one-liners from the trip:

"Mom you're not letting me do anything I want to do!" (when I wouldn't let him climb up a cliff that he would surely fall down, throwing him right down on the road)

"I was just trying to have fun!" (when Daddy told him not to do something else; sounds like we are kind of fun-killers, huh?)

"We are looking for gold, treasure, and snacks!" (on our post-dinner, pre-bedtime family walk along the trolley tracks)

Brady's eyes! Haha.

Brady touched a cactus when he first got out of the car and had cactus needles all in his hands. He was not happy about that! It took some time getting them all out of his little paws.

Peekaboo with toddlers: 

After lunch, we got some ice cream and a couple new popper guns for the boys!

One of the highlights of the trip was walking along the "charlie" (trolley tracks) outside our hotel. 

Brady found a cliff that he spent quite a bit of time climbing. I love to see him challenge himself to try and accomplish new things!

Trying to push the cliff over:

And finally, a trip to Bass Pro while Daddy was at his meeting. (There was an Ulta next door that would've had my business but imagine these two in there...)
