Spring Break In Review

SUNDAY AND MONDAY

We took a trip to San Antonio for a few days at the beginning of the week. My friend Dawn and her son Rafe went with us as well as Elvia and Jordy. We drove up on Sunday and I dropped them off at Sea World. I went to a bridal shower for my future sister-in-law and met back up with them later in the afternoon. We stayed on the Riverwalk on Sunday night and on Monday we went to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch which is an "African Safari Texas Style" where you drive through in your car and see all the animals (and they allow you to feed them as well). It was a quick trip, but everyone had a great time.

Natalie and Rafe excited about being at Sea World.

Me and Natalie at a Sea Lion show (she really liked the show, despite the look on her face).

At the Wildlife Ranch feeding the zebras.

One of the zebras wasn't being fed fast enough, so he put his head in the car to see what he could find.


Elvia, Jordy and Natalie

They had a little petting zoo which Natalie liked.

TUESDAY

We met 2 of my friends, Carey and Polly, and their kids at Johnny Rockets for lunch. We went to see Horton Hears a Who at the movie theatre after that. It was the first time that Natalie had ever gone to a movie theatre. She really liked it and did great for about the first half of the movie. We left after that, as it was getting close to nap time...she keeps asking to go back, so maybe next time we'll make it through the entire movie!

FRIDAY

We were invited to a little Easter Party at the home of two of the little girls in Natalie's class at school. She was really excited to see the Easter Bunny and go on an Easter egg hunt.

Later that evening Natalie was playing on the computer with Daddy...I love these pictures!




SATURDAY

On Saturday, we woke up and took Natalie to the livestock show and carnival at the rodeo. She really had a good time looking at all of the animals. Later that evening, Steve's mom and sister and her family came over for Easter Dinner. Somehow I didn't get a single picture of that!!

Natalie watching the pig races...that was by far her favorite thing there.

EASTER SUNDAY

On Easter Sunday, Natalie woke up and hunted Easter eggs. After that, we went to church and then came home and hunted Easter eggs again. Phoebe and Stan both came over to visit and Natalie got in the hot tub for a little while.

Natalie got some gardening gear in her Easter basket and was excited to start using it.
