Weekend Road Trip

To San Antonio! Our weekend was quick but super fun! We headed down to San Antonio for a wedding reception for one of my cousins on Saturday evening. We couldn't check into our hotel until 3, so Greg arranged a visit with one of his old friends who recently moved there. It was great to see Greg and his friend Ben reconnect! Ben and his wife and family treated us to swimming in their AMAZING community pool, which consisted of a big pool, lazy river, and splash/slide area WITH lifeguards! It is one of the nicest community pools I have ever seen--my girls were in heaven since swimming is their favorite activity EVER. Ben's family treated us to a great lunch by the pool and we truly enjoyed our time visiting with them. I could kick myself for not getting any pictures of Greg with his friend--oh well! Of course when we were done swimming, our car battery died--had to get a jump and take a trip to Wal Mart to get a new battery. We met up with my dad who helped Greg with that little side trip. Thank goodness it wasn't anything more serious! I have very little patience with car issues.

Later that evening we went to the reception--and my goodness was it ever lovely! SO fun to see cousins and old friends that you don't get to see very often! The reception was at my cousins home, which is RIGHT near the San Antonio temple and they have an amazing view of it from their back yard. LITERALLY the Angel Moroni reflects in the pool--very, very lovely and the perfect location for their daughters reception.

Now we are home. It is June 2nd and we still have 3 more days of school. There is something seriously wrong to still be in school in June!



My girls love, love, love to swim!


Susanna and Samantha at the reception. They really enjoyed trying all the wonderful food!


Nan and my sister's daughter Caroline. We had so much fun seeing some of our cousins!


Greg and his girls. I could seriously cry just thinking about one of our girls getting married. What if they all get married about the same time? That might just push me right over the edge....

Greg and I had a great time!

Hi Laurie! Yes, all my siblings have kids--I think 16 kids between us, but only 2 are boys!
