San Antonio

We had a great 10-day family vacation in San Antonio earlier this month!  Mia was a great traveler - loves the window seat and browsing the in-flight magazines.  She loves to order her cran-apple from the flight attendant and chat with the other passengers.  She thinks she's pretty big stuff!  Sam on the other hand, was a hand-ful!  He was pretty good, just extremely busy!  I think Nate and I were sweating after every leg of the flight!

It was wonderful getting to spend so much time with the Larson's and enjoying a city that we have really come to love.  The cousin's of course had a ball together - swimming, playing, movie nights and we even got to celebrate Drew's 4th birthday with him at his shark pool party!  It is really neat to see the special connection between the kids, even though they don't see one another that often.  It's like they just know :)

It was blazing hot, so we logged many hours at the pool.  We decided that Sam was the best swimmer out of all the kids.  He was ridiculous - jumping in the deep end with his float on, dunking his head and doing swimming strokes without his float on.  We were dying!  He was a natural!  

Of course I got spoiled being with my sis for so long.  Although we talk a ton every day, there's something to be said for doing it in person!  We just always have a great time together and it's never, ever long enough!!  I'm still hoping they'll consider a "yankee" move sometime in the near future!  xo 

All buckled in and ready to roll!
