Howdy!

We are just back from the second of our Whirlwind Adventures this summer!  After staying home for two years we have certainly been on the go this year!  Farm Bureau had a trip to San Antonio this summer that we went on with a bunch of our Farm Bureau friends, and it was tons of fun!

The Pool was the main attraction!  And that is a good thing because it was HOT! 

The resort where we stayed had pools,  a lazy river, and several water slides! 

We loved the JW Marriott resort!  Only ate at one place that I would recommend- Boudros in the Riverwalk area.

We spent one day in HELL ON EARTH  SeaWorld.  The pic says it all.  It was 104*, John Stephen was not the easiest to deal with, and I really don't like amusement parks.  The best thing was that Sydney and Don rode two REALLY scary rides!  We did feel like it was a good EYE OPENER about what to expect/plan for if we ever go to Disneyworld.  Let me just say that we will plan way ahead if we ever head to Florida to see Mickey!  I felt so overwhelmed at SeaWorld.  I didn't know which rides and shows we wanted to see, I didn't know what rides John Stephen could go on, I didn't know much.  There were lots of tattooed people, and we were aimlessly wandering around rubbing elbows with them all- not my favorite way to spend a day!   

Speaking of Tattooed People...Look what Sydney got at the resort!  A colorful, butterfly, airbrushed tattoo!  Temporary, of course!  She loved it!

When we got home Sydney continued with her cowgirl theme for the summer and went to Equestrian Camp!  It was super fun, and she learned everything from how to saddle a horse, to how to ride him! 

The local college has such neat children's programs for the summer, and I was so happy to see her learn something new!  I am having a busy Monday, and have been writing this over a period of 5 hours on and off between loads of laundry and other chores around here.  Glad to be home for a while, and planning on enjoying the last little bit of the summer!!
