San Antonio

We took a family vacation to San Antonio and everyone had a blast! We stayed at the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch for the first time and all agree it is great...especially for kids! I always take WAY too many pictures when we travel, so you can go through them quickly if you want, or skip all my cheesy commentary :)

Granny and Papa never show up without presents! They brought Madelyn more than enough toys to entertain her. Thanks!

Madelyn was headed to Granny and Papa's room a lot...they had all the toys and food!

the hotel had a fun playground...

we roasted s'mores one night for dessert!...

Madelyn showing her giant cookie...Granny and Papa also never show up without treats to eat!

hug sandwich...
she loves to ride on shoulders...
We went to Sea World!!
even at Sea World, Madelyn finds somewhere to hang...
What's this? Popio doing the twist!

Madelyn waving bye to Shamu when he "waved" to the crowd...

and the beach...

all of us at dinner one night...
Madelyn loves to put stickers all over people's clothes or "outfits" as she likes to say...Papa was a great sport!

More fun at the hotel pool. Madelyn played at the splash ground and loved shooting hoops in the pool. Oh yeah, spraying people with the water cannon was pretty fun too!

1, 2, 3, JUMP! I love this mid-air shot!

Madelyn loves playing in the water with her daddy because he really plays...I am more of a lounger myself!

Madelyn and Gramma...

This trip really brought out the kid in all of us...we took full advantage of the water slides! Madelyn desperately wanted to go down the slide and even escaped once to start climbing the staircase, but hotel rules kept her from even riding on our laps :( The first pic is Clint and the second two my dad...

swimming with Popio...

Popio, Madelyn, and Gramma...

There's nothing like lounging by the pool with a cold drink!!...

Then, though we had a fairly long drive back to Dallas and had already eaten tons of Mexican food in SA, we couldn't resist stopping at Matt's El Rancho in Austin for one more delicious meal. You can never have too much Mexican food, in my opinion. And Madelyn definitely takes after me...she was dipping a chunk of cheese into the queso!! She thoroughly enjoyed her Bob Armstrong Dip! By the way, this was a very last minute decision...otherwise we would have called some of our friends to meet us...next time!
