first water trailhead

 

Hayden picked me some desert flowers and I love them both.

2nd Cousins!

On our last day in Texas we got to see this fun family again.  My cousin Jamie drove up with her kids (they live in Victoria, Texas) to meet us at the Alamo. The kids had fun together and I loved being able to spend some time with Jamie -she's someone I've always looked up to. 

Texas trip

We made our annual trip to San Antonio to visit Mama & Papa DeHoyos. 

We love them so much! I wish they weren't so camera shy so I could get more photos of us with them.

We tried a new place this visit: Morgan's wonderland.

It is an amusement park designed for small children and special needs kids. It is really a cool concept. All the rides are wheelchair accessible. They even have a sensory house for Autistic kids that I think my brother Jay would like. And it is very clean and the staff is friendly.

They had a fishing wharf with poles and bait provided.  Even Grayce took some interest in fishing. 

And of course, Reese was the first person to catch a fish.

 We spent one day in Corpus Christi at the beach:

 I told the boys since Grandpa DeHoyos has so much money, a Leprechaun tries to break in every St Patrick's day and steal some. We set a trap to try and catch the Leprechaun.  The boys strung a dollar bill to a fork under a shoe box.  In the morning they woke up early to check the trap. The dollar bill was gone and in it's place was a note.  It said that if the boys could follow his rainbow clues they would find a prize.  There was some glitter dust and rainbow confetti leading outside.  They followed it all around the backyard till they found this little guy behind Grandpa's shed with a pot of rainbow suckers and chocolate gold coins. 

We finished off St Patrick's day by going to the River-Walk and watching the Scottish bagpipe boat dye the river green.
