A lot of relaxin' and playin'

Well every time we go to San Antonio we stay at the same hotel. We love the Hyatt Hill Country Resort and Spa. They have tons of activities throughout the day for kids and they have a lazy river and a beach that the boys love! They roast marshmellows at the fire pit every night and make smores. You never have to leave the hotel if you don't want to so we didn't much and we stayed 5 days. The boys could have stayed in the sand and on the river all day! We would go early and get great seats right on the river off the beach and stay most of the day. They loved having lunch at the pool and on the beach.













Daddy and Cameron being lazy on the river!
What a great time we had. We also went to SeaWorld one day but my pics are not downloaded yet because I had to buy a throw away camera. My camera and phone got wet in my bag when we were crossing the river to get out for the day. So I still have to get those developed and downloaded later. So SeaWorld pics to come later.
If you have never stayed at this hotel we say give it a try. It is a fun place!



San Antonio June 2010

We love San Antonio and we can't go there without eating at our favorite mexican food place on the riverwalk, Casa Rio!



We remembered too....
























Summer vacation

Our first getaway vacation this summer was to one of our favorite places....San Antonio! On our way to San Antonio we had to stop by the Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg. I love that place so the boys agreed it would be ok to stop and shop for a little bit!


We can't ever be that close to Kerrville and not stop and visit the special places and people in Daniels life growing up. One is the beautiful cemetary where Daniels dad and grandparents are buried. Kerrville is where Daniel spent every summer with them up until they passsed when he was in high school. What great memories he has and he got to show the boys where he spent his summers as a kid.



Here is the Guadalupe river where he spent a lot of his time fishing with his dad and swimming. The boys loved skipping rocks and hearing stories from daddy!







Blackberry Pickin'

One of the first things we did this summer was go to a blackberry farm and pick blackberries! The boys had so much fun. We ate some right off the vines and they were so sweet. We came home and made a cobbler for daddy and we froze the rest and have been eating on them ever since! We plan to make this an every summer event thanks to some old friends in Sanger! Thanks Charles, Marilyn and Christy! Visit their website for info for next year! www.duckcreekblackberries.com





Carson took all the fruit pictures just like a pro photographer. I think he took 100 pics that morning.
They also had apricot trees and Charles let the boys each have one!
