okay, okay...i know, i take a lot of pictures. so, here are a few pictures from our trip to texas (i know it's a little more than a few, but it's only about an 1/8th of all the ones i took). anyways...here's a picture of me and the girls doing a little window shopping at the airport before our plane left for Texas (by the way...the flight wasn't bad at all, it was great having a direct flight...especially traveling with kids)...
here are the girls with cousin ashley in her awesome new playhouse...
it was soooo humid there, we had to get ice cream a couple of times...love Marble Slab! :)
my dad got tickets for us to go to this little kids theater where we watched a Snow White play. very cute...
then we swam at my dad's neighborhood pool...leia loved being thrown. no fear!
leia was wiped out from a busy day, she slept thru most of dinner with "texas grammy" (my mom)...
out in the playhouse again!
the girls have a new name for "texas papa"..."the jelly bean king", for very good reasons! :)
you can't go to San Antonio and not go shopping at The Shops at La Canterra...it's a great outdoor mall...we stopped here for "souvineers" (we call 'em that to take the guilt away :)
Texas Papa's house is full of golf stuff, so the girls had to get a quick putting lesson...
trust me...this is NOT my dad's cat (he's definitely not the cat lover), but the girls didn't mind the neighbor cat coming to visit!
part of the reason for the trip was for derek to go to a work related convention, so the girls and i hung out with some friends at the pool at the resort the convention was at...it was a great pool with a nice little beach like kid pool...
and a waterslide...
after a few hours there, we decided to drive out to the Guadalupe River with my sister, ashley, my little brother, mikey & his wife Elaine (as you can see we had a few sprinkles and thunder & lightening on the way... hey, we were in texas after all!)...
but, it stopped raining and we had a good time...
we have very few pics of just derek and me these days...but, here's one...
here's uncle mikey...getting crazy on the rope swing...
after, the river, we went to a fun outdoor BBQ place called Rudy's...and as you can see, leia tried ribs for the first time :)
check out leia's hair...hey, the messier the hair, the more fun you had. right?
my sticky baby...
almost everyone's here...if we could get my big brother, matthew, and his family down here from alaska, we'd have a complete sibling pic!
does this pic say "texas" or what! :)
we miss you guys already and love you ALL a lot.
