San Antonio Trip

It has been a while since this amazing trip to San Antonio, but that just means I have forgotten a ton of great stories that I would've shared.  I know, all of you are crying as you read this because long boring posts are your favorite!

Let me begin with this story from Kennedy.  As the date of the trip was approaching, I was telling Kennedy that she needed to ask Mrs.Bishop for her work.  I had already emailed the school to let them know that she would miss 2 days of school.  Kennedy was unaware of the fact that I had notified her teacher prior to this conversation.  She said, "Oh, I already told Mrs.Bishop we were going on a free vacation because your school is paying for it!"  Ouch!  That was not an exact translation of the conversation that she overheard.  Yes, we had to have the  "Private versus Public Information" talk.  What she actually overheard me say to my mother was, "We decided since I had to go to San Antonio for work and the school is buying the gas, we may as well take the entire family and make a weekend vacation of it."

Um...it's raining and we started WAY over there!

We made it back to the mall and found the frozen yogurt shop and it was "Two Spoon Good!"

Here's another funny from kid #1.  While we had yogurt, Chad walked over and bought a beer.  He walked back to us drinking his beer and Kennedy said, "Daddy if you can walk around the mall and drink a beer, what CAN you get arrested for in San Antonio?"

I can get ice!

Roll-Away Bed?

Blake was restless at the hotel so we went to
Sea World 45 minutes before opening...and she was restless there too!

Feeding Dolphins

Wait a minute, Daddy!  I'm not through looking!

I have no idea what they were looking at here, but aren't they cute?

Waiting on a show to begin

How many times can you go through "Penguin Encounter" before they lose interest?
We still don't know, but Chad and I lost interest after about 4 times!

Behind bars at such a young age

This is Jack.  He's quite the celebrity at Sea World in October.
We were so proud our biggest chicken got close enough for a picture!

While Kennedy was visiting Jack, they were visiting the concession stand.

Yes, we are H~O~T!

Yes, we will do autographed copies if you send a self-addressed, self-stamped envelope to the Dickerson Domain in Henderson, Texas!

The final stop of the trip before the incredibly long drive home was the San Antonio Zoo.  I have been to many, many zoos.  I would encourage you to take the time to visit the San Antonio Zoo if you ever have the opportunity.  It was an awesome zoo!

Dragon Rides are FREE!

I think he could eat Tater!

You can imagine her saying "look!" In reality it was more like "uh, uh!"

Ever seen one of these in a vending machine?

Elephant rides are FREE too!
