Our Family Vacation to San Antonio

The month of August was so much fun and it went by really fast. So fast that this will be my only post for the month. I have a lot of pictures to share, after all this is my picture blog so here they are…. They are out of order a bit but you get the idea of how much fun we had. Kayce get to feed the Sea Lion and the Dolphins. Then we get to have dinner right next to the whales and Shamu was only 6 feet away from us. Kayce was so happy that when she fell asleep that night, she was dreaming about something and she said “mommy..shamu..” and ended with a big smile in her sleep. That is when parenting in the heat is so rewarding. Did I mention the weather? The heat was horrible, I don’t remember the last time I sweat so much. Chris and I are still recovering from the trip and our bodies are still sore.

this is how much stuff we pack for a 5 day trip..

Kayce saw the pool within minutes of us getting into the hotel... we couldn't tell her to wait any longer.

some daddy and Ethan time

Kayce gets to feed these hungry birds. they are the best birds for her cause they won't fly away as long as you have food in your hand. she had chased a lot of birds in her 2 year life and never got close to one.

Feeding the Sea Lion.

Ethan loves to ride with Mom on the scooter.

That arm pit smell so gooood.. *yuck*

Grandma and us.. Kayce doesn't like the wheelchair that Marie is in, her face expression is "Get me off this thing."

this was so cool get to be just 6 feet away from the whales. this was Dine with Shamu, the swim around us while we have dinner. have to say that it feels really weird to eat shrimp around whales.

Ethan loves the hotel room, new things to explore every minute. it takes more than 3 of us to keep an eye on this little guy.

Tour around the city of San Antonio.

Feeding the Dolphins was a very neat experience. it was worth the $10 of fishs that I had to get..

Here they go down the lazy river

Kayce and Chris went down the slide.. when she got out we asked her "do you want to go again.." "NO, NO, NO"

Ethan relaxing after a long day

I was busy packing when I found them playing by the window of the hotel... couldn't resist to take this as my last picture of the trip.. what a great vacation.

At the pool

so we have been busy at the water park. these are from a few different occasions. I get to use my waterproof camera and have to get the pictures develop like the good old days. wait...wait...wait.. 1 hour later, get to pick them up.





This is Kayce's friend, Camille. Kayce is 2 months older and they are very excited to see each other everytime. They hold hands when they see each other... it is really cute.


Kayce is doing pretty good with floating

She loves her new tube

Ethan enjoys the shallow end. He loves the water coming up.

if anyone plays WOW.. doesn't he look like he is crafting.

All gone!!

Kayce's last Song N Dance class

Today was a busy day for us. We took the kids to the park right after breakfast, then we went to Kayce's very last Song N Dance class. After class, Chris and I decided to go to the Galleria for some shopping and playtime. We drove round and round looking for a parking spot and finally decided to just park far and walk (you can't just park anywhere in that parking garage with a stroller). While we were getting the kids out of the car and into the stroller, this car pull right next to us from the wrong direction (I really thought she wasn't going to stop). The door opened and it was an old lady (65+ at least), she never made eye contact with us and just walked off. Chris and I looked at each other and looked at this lady's car, we said "is it still running?" After we got the kids settle into the stroller, I rushed over to check to see if the keys were still in it and sure enough it was there. The old lady was getting out of sight so I ran and chased after her. if you have been to the Galleria, you know how many different levels, entrances, stairs and elevators they have. I can't believe I lost a senior. How can I chase down a 2 year old but not a 65+. Chris took the kids to the playground while I continue to search for this lady but I had no luck and finally had to call security to take care of it. So by the time I finished being a good samaritan, the kids were done playing, Ethan wants to eat, Kayce wants to run around and we were ready to go home.

Ethan crawling around on the dance floor and he found his red spot (that is where the dancers suppose to stand).. Ethan said "by the way, can someone kiss my giraffe?"

Here is a video of Kayce singing "I love you"
