We all enjoyed our recent snow days, but by day three I'd had enough fun. So, Saturday morning i thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to go south? Maybe lay on a beach for a day or two?"
The kids had the following Monday off from school, so we decided to go for it! We didn't actually hit the beach (probably too cold still) - we thought it would be good enough to go to San Antonio to visit Nana and Pa.
We were right - the weather was much nicer at their house! The kids each brought a friend, and although we didn't really do anything spectacular, it was nice to take a little road trip.
First stop - Alamo Cafe. (we did it in honor of you, Tommy!)
Stephanie, Matt, Nana, Maggie and Justin making a train as we went in to eat.
I love Justin's face here!
Tim's friend, Ben Gilbert
Starting with Matt and Tim, we went around the table snapping pictures
Tim and Ben

Maggie and Stephanie
Justin and Maggie
Nana and Jenni
Jenni and Justin. We are special.
(I am pretty certain that all of that fat around my chin, added with the pickle tongue is why Tommy married me)
"ooh baby... we're so fierce..."
"...and we are sweet, sweet angels"
"and we are redneck, with our toothpick and dirty shirt"
Nana and Pa should be proud - they have two lovely granddaughters...
...who have very mature boyfriends
Then on to the actual Alamo and the Riverwalk
everyone acting SUPER excited to see the Alamo!
Well, some did a better job acting than others...
The nasty pina colada snowcone that Pa bought - it got passed on to Ben - he threw it away!
Yep - Matt is a keeper
playing on the Riverwalk
the wind kicked up and it started to get cold
The Rivercenter mall
waiting to watch 'Lightening Thief'
Back at home, Tim went in search of a blanket and mistakenly grabbed a Christmas tree skirt!
On our way out of town - Ben wanted to stop by the Temple and take a pic for his mom. The Temple is right down the street from Nana and Pa's house!
(I love this pic of Tim!)
Before leaving San Antonio - we drove to the Guadelupe State Park and played for a minute.
the water was VERY COLD, but the boys didn't seem to mind at all!
throwing pebbles!
My bunch!
