Family Vacation

Tori's Spa Day for her birthday!

Sea World in San Antonio, TX

Benton and the alligators.

My high-adventurers.

Alex feeding the dolphins.

All the kids got to feed the dolphins.

Tori and the Shark Tank.

The family with Shamu.

Schlitterbahn was the next day. Alex didn't want to take off any of her wrist bands.

Adalyn's first vacation. She did pretty well....as long as she got her naps.

Garrett was on the phone taking care of business every spare second he had.

We had a fun day at the Schlitterbahn.  
The weather was perfect and the crowds weren't bad at all.

Bath time at the hotel.

Ada's first time at the beach.

We got rained on the first day but the water was nice.

Tori is a little fish. She got so sunburned. With sun screen on she still blistered.

We had to get used to having sand EVERYWHERE. There is no controlling that with kids.

Snuggle time with Daddy.

Garrett and I had to take turns sitting on the sand with the little ones and catching waves with the big ones. I don't think we were ever in the same place at the same time.

Alex wandered up the and down the shore finding sea shells. She was in heaven.

Tori, before her horrific sunburn.

Garrett's spa treatment.

Alex and Tori stayed in the water boogie-boarding the entire time.

Our last day on the beach.

Benton heading out to catch a wave or two.

Ada had fun eating the sand...and sea weed.

A nice couple caught her with a mouth full of sea weed and got her to spit it out before I could get to her. Then hey offered her a granola bar instead.

Poor Garrett got fried too. Tori and Garrett have the fairest skin ever. They burn through everything. We spent the next few days applying tons of Aloe...Lavender for the sting...Peppermint for the itching...and Vaseline for the peeling.
We had a great time with the Greg and Kami Hatch Family and the Mike and Kirsten Spitzer Family too.
