Weekend Fun!

We stayed in Seguin this weekend. On Friday we didn't have any plans for the weekend other than Daddy was going to be gone most of Saturday. I asked the kids if they wanted to go to the SA Children's Museum, of course they did so we started planning our Saturday in San Antonio. We ended up stayed in SA for almost 12 hours and walked at least 2 miles. The kids said they walked 4 miles but the app on my phone said 2 miles. We were exhausted to say the least but I think "Mom of the Year" were some of my thoughts about the day.


Friday night Daddy played in a Breast Cancer awareness softball tournament at TLU.   We joined in on the fun. Gotta love that the kids are reading more because one of the girls said, "why do we need to save second base?".   All the shirts had that on the front and 69 on the back, which Hadlee said that they should have got to pick their numbers.




After the softball games we went to the TLU Volleyball game and then out to eat.   The kids miss going out to eat and it's nice that it truly is a treat for them.




The ball zone at the Children's Museum was probably one of their favorite things.   It's a blurry picture but Harper is on the left, Hays in the middle and Hadlee is on the ground on the right.




The giant bubble maker was another hit.




We stayed until the afternoon to watch the orphan children from the Ugandan Orphan Children's Choir perform. It was very moving to watch them perform and compare their lives to our lives here in the US.


I love this picture of the kids walking along the street. The girls are socializing and Hays is picking up the rear. I was very proud of them- we had no complaints about walking the entire day!


We texted Daddy during the day and had to send him a picture of one of our favorite restaurants. We ate there when we were headed to Bandera and had stayed the night at a nearby hotel. It's only open during the week so I can see a trip happening for us during Christmas break.


We finally made it to the Tower of America. The kids loved it and this was by far their highlight of their day.


When we were walking out of  Hemisphere park to get to go home, the Leukemia Foundation was holding their annual "Light up the Night" walk.  They had college kids that were painting faces and asked the kids if they wanted their faces painted.   Hadlee and Harper begged me to let them do it.




The kids all got balloons and the next thing you know we are walking with the massive crowd down the street for walk. It was pretty neat and I told the kids that next year we needed to do it and do the fundraising to help out the charity.



Sunday, Hitting lessons X 3........  love the kids new use of their shopping cart
