Summer Trip Part 2

Wednesday we left Rockport and we headed to San Antonio to go to Sea World and visit family & friends!
Thursday morning we got to Sea World at 10 am, when the park opened. (This was Parker's first trip to Sea World)

 Kegan and Parker checking out the maps...."Where to go first?"
Kegan and Parker rode the Shamu Express lots of times! (this was Parker's first roller coaster ride!)

So much fun!


 Kegan was super excited that he was tall enough to ride the Steel Eel.  Kyle rode it with him (neither Kyle or I are big Roller Coaster people.)  I think it was pretty scary.  After they got done Kegan told Kyle, "I don't think I want to ride that again!"  Although, as time passes his story changes. Now he says he liked it and would ride it again. Easy to say when we are 300 miles away ;)
Love this pic of me and my little boy.  I see how much we look alike in this picture! We have the exact same pointy chin and squinty eyes!

 lunch time!

 They even had a Sesame Street themed part of the park!
We rode this ride LOTS of times!


We spent 10 hours at Sea World and it was a blast....we ALL slept VERY well that night!

The next day, we went to my good friend Avery's house for a play date.  Avery and I were pregnant together with our first 2 babies but she has surpassed me...she is now onto baby number 4...probably a 4th girl ;)


They had lots of fun playing dress-up despite the serious looks in this picture!

Here is baby girl #3, Rylan! So sweet!


Kirby and Parker playing play dough while the boys were out playing golf!



Grandad took the kids to feed the BIG geese.  Parker was terrified of them (too BIG!)



 On Saturday, we went Aunt Olivia's parents house to celebrate her birthday.  The kids loved the swings in the woods. 




Mimi and Parker in deep conversation!


The birthday girl (and her baby bump!)

Too much birthday party fun!


We left San Antonio on Sunday.  Kegan stayed in Boerne with Grandad and Kirby.  He was SO EXCITED as this was his first time to stay at Grandad's without Mommy and Daddy.  Also, he and Grandad had lots of secret things planned once we left! Here are some iPhone pics of the fun that they had!
Hiking









And a picture of our lil' firecracker on 4th of July!

Summer Trip Part One

Last Sunday we left for our annual trip to Rockport, to visit my dad (Papa)! The 7 hour drive wasn't too bad (of course I read a book, Kegan and Parker watched movies, so daddy did the hard part.....driving!) We stayed in a hotel to make it more "vacationy". We had a great time! Here are some pictures of our trip! I forgot my camera the day we went on my dad's little fishing boat but a great time was had by ALL!




Kegan and Parker loving the Hotel Bed!

Beach Babies!

Kegan had lots of fun on the boogie board!

Daddy and Kegan Boogie Boarding

Parker giving it a try

Parker was very excited about building a sand castle

Papa and Parker working on the sand castle!


Love this picture too! I love the way Parker has her tiny hand on Daddy's chest!

Kegan and Papa catching a fish!


They had a hard time reeling in the big fish on Kegan's little fishing pole!

I love this picture because it is hard to tell who is more excited about catching the fish, Kyle or Kegan?!



Kegan and Parker wanted to feed the seagulls.  As soon as they showed up, Parker freaked and hid in the car! Kegan loved it (as usual!)


More pictures to come from Part 2... San Antonio!
