San Antonio - Part 1

We went to San Antonio around spring break again this year for a family reunion with Benny's side of the family. Last year was pretty difficult traveling with the kids at 3 in the morning. This year was much better, both with them being a year older and having much better flight times. Riser was very excited to fly on a plane! And ride in the shuttle, and see the airport, and just about every bit of the process. 

They both got wings, which they were very excited about.

The longest flight on the way there, the kids befriended some kids sitting in front of us and literally played the entire flight together. They shared toys, made each other pictures, passed snacks back and forth, and just had the best time. It was truly so sweet. The little boy Calvin couldn't wait to give Bonnie a hug at the end of the flight. He told her he knew he would never see her again, but they exchanged pictures with each others' names to remember each other by.

We arrived in San Antonio late Saturday night, and the kids were ready for bed by then. The next morning they got lots of snuggles with the grandparents.

Alison, Shary and their cousins Sienna and Sydney showed up that next day around lunchtime. Sydney barely walked in the door before Bonnie was asking her to play 'art store' and 'babysitter' with her. Apparently she had all kinds of plans. 

They all got along so well and reunited quickly.

Baga got to do bath time with the kids, her favorite part.

Played some evening soccer in the backyard.

Bonnie enjoyed visiting Aunt Alison's 'salon' each morning.

We made our annual trip to Historic Market Square.

The amount of crafts that were done this week - it was Bonnie's absolute dream.

Sydney tried to teach Bonnie and Riser how to do a handstand.

We took the kids and Eric's dad to the Witte Museum one morning while the cousins were getting haircuts. There aren't a lot of touristy things we haven't done in San Antonio so it was fun to explore somewhere new! Plus Riser is very into dinosaurs right now.

We went to dinner with the larger family one night.

We enjoyed lots of time hanging around the house and out back. We had just come from a week of rain and cold in Virginia so the warmer weather was very nice.

We heard and saw lots of jets flying overhead (they live right next to an airbase). 

A great trip so far - to be continued!
