Trip down South

A couple weekends ago, Braidy, Quin and I, along with Jess and Crockett loaded up and headed to San Antonio to spend a long weekend with Poppa and JJ. Ryan was attending a men's retreat here in town, so we decided to go ahead and go. We went down on Thursday. A car full of 3 boys 3 and under was surprisingly very uneventful! We stopped once on the way down there (twice if you count letting Braidy teetee on the side of the road, huge advantage to having boys!)....but we made it in great time! We got there and headed straight for the pool. The boys had a blast swimming, feeding the deer, going on walks, looking in the "forest", looking for the kitty, playing in the legos, helping JJ cook, and anything else they could get into, they did. Quin LOVED swimming in Poppa's pool. He even got dunked a few times and didn't even cry!

Friday we went to New Braunfel's to ride the CHOO CHOO train! It took us through Landa Park and it was so much fun. We saw tons of squirrels, and the boys loved it. We then picked up some yummy treats at a bakery there, and headed to lunch and then home. Friday night, Aunt Rachy joined us! We were SO excited to see her!!!! Saturday we went into San Antonio for the farmer's market and to ride the boat down the river. It was a little too hot outside, but we still had fun. After a yummy burger at Chris Madrid's it was NAP time. Braidy even fell asleep in my lap at the restaraunt...that never happens, so I knew he was exhausted!

Other than that, we just enjoyed being out in the hill country. We had another "episode" of hives for poor Quin. After a good amount of homemade ice cream, he broke out again. We have come to the conclusion that he is allergic to raw eggs, and NOT strawberries! YAY! We can easily avoid raw eggs, no problem! He discovered his love for whip cream, waffles, and lots of yummy table food! It was gorgeous and hot outside, but the pool sure made it bearable! We had a great time and can't wait to go back! We will let Poppa and JJ recover a while though, I know they were worn out by the time we left!! Lots of Pictures!
