San Antonio

We're home.. and healthy.. well.. Mylie's still on the mend.. finally! We had a GREAT time in Texas and want to do it all over again. We took so many pictures.. but here are just a few. Hopefully, you'll get a feel for the trip... and how much fun we all had!

SEA WORLD

We started off the vacation with a trip to SeaWorld the first day. Boy, was it hot! I've never sweat so much in my life! We were welcoming the little kiddie water park! We played hard, went home, showered and gave the kiddos naps, then headed back for the Shamo show at night. It was such a fun fun day! Mylie LOVED the dolphins and the show. I love watching her discover new things! She's definitely hard to handle in a crowd though... she'd just take off and not look back. That girl would go home with anyone.. I swear! I think she needs a leash! :)

Abby is definitely the best person to photograph-- she loves it-- poses on her own and everything! Couldn't really ask for more. This is Abby in true fashion at Sea World-- showing the little kids how to party hard!

Dallin is the most content little man ever-- he just did his own thing! He really likes you to watch and it's the cutest thing ever! He was "one" with the water the whole time!

Last but not least, Mylie was as busy as a bee. She hardly took a second to slow down. She was on the move the whole time and loved every second! Can't beat a happy little one!

BIRTHDAY

It was so fun for us to visit during Abby's birthday. The rest of the trip was planning the party and enjoying the festivities of Abby's birthday. Let me say, Ellice is quite the party planner! Wow! It was a perfect "Chef" party for 4-yr olds! From the apron coloring, pizza making, cake decorating (with cake boxes for the kids to take them home in), ice cream sundaes, games and more.. it was planned to a "T"! Ellice wins "Mommy of the Year" in my book! Luckily, we were there to help her pull it all off. :) I think Abby had a great day... which was our goal! We headed to Papsitos, a YUMMY mexican restaruant for dinner that night-- it was celebrations nonstop! We're so happy that we could take part in the fun!

FAMILY FUN

It was just so fun for the girls all to be together again! We love spending time together... we laugh hard, hardly sleep and enjoy just being together.. it doesn't matter what we do. I love seeing all the cousins together too. Abby and Dallin just loved Mylie... and she loves them. They were so good to her... and Dallin tried his hardest to be soft.. but sometimes it didn't work out! :) Dallin and Mylie are going to be best buds for sure when they get a little older. Poor little guy was left out part of the time and was such a good sport about another little person coming into his world and taking over. Can't wait to see all these little ones grow up...we just need to work on them growing up closer.. same state perhaps!? :) I love seeing Mylie develop relationships with her Grammie, Auntie and Uncle. It's the cutest... and of course... I love my Dallin and Abby! :)

Thanks for the fun girls...and thanks Bon Jovi for letting us invade once again! Can't wait until next year's girls' trip! :)
