San Antonio with Parrotts and Fishes

We had a great little vacation with some great friends, the Parrott family and the Fish family.  The boys loved having other boys to hang out with.  Our trip started out with only the Fishes and our family...four adults and five boys!  We began our vacation on the Riverwalk...

...and then went to the Alamo.

The boys were excited to see a real cannon used during the battle.

Jim used Ryan's scrubby head to clean the cannon.

Mama and her awesome boys!

Five boys with the Six Flags of Texas.

After we went to the Alamo, we headed back to the Riverwalk and had dessert at Rain Forest Cafe.  The Parrotts arrived which made our fun times even better with six adults and seven rowdy BOYS!!!

The following day we went to Natural Bridge Caverns.

There were great boy things to climb all over and lots of good climbing trees, too.

Steve, Jim, and Dave.

Brock found a praying mantis that climbed all over him (and his ear!).

Ryan let the praying mantis crawl all over him, too.

The caverns were so amazing!




After we walked the caverns, we mined for gems...




On our last day of vacation, on our way home, went to a Big Lou's Pizza...




...and ate the world's 2nd largest pizza!!

Just before school started, we took our annual trip to the roller skating rink.  Always such a good time with my boys!
