VACATION!

I had 20 days off of work for vacation.... SO nice! And SOO hard to go back;) We were gone almost that whole time. First we spent a week in Austin with Mom and Dad. While we were there, we all went down to San Antonio for a few days. We went to the Childrens Museum, the Alamo and the Riverwalk one day and then to Sea World for two days. It was a lot of fun....... Jake rode almost all of the rides (except two of the fast roller coasters) and loved them! His favorite was the Atlantis, which is a big boat that goes up really high and drops down a HUGE hill and splashes in the water. He really enjoyed the water park there too. His favorites things there were the body slides and the wave pool. He also liked being able to 'stay the night' with Nonni and PawPaw in their hotel room. He had us all laughing pretty hard one day at the hotel when he came to our room with mom and dad, knocked on the door and said in a high pitched voice, "Room service... Hot coffee and massage." Dad said, "What kind of hotels have yall been staying in?" But we got Andrew a massage gift certificate for Fathers Day, so I'm pretty sure that is where that came from. :)On the RiverwalkThe boys at the AlamoNonni showing us how she answers the phones at work:)Jake milking a 'cow' at the Childrens Museum

We had one day at home to unpack, do laundry and repack before driving to Alabama for a week. We got to spend some time with cute little babies....... at the hospital with our friends Josh and Jennie after they had their fourth daughter. We also stayed the night with Alan and Sandahlyn and their adorable new son, Ridge who was four weeks old. He was such a sweet baby and so cute!! I think he just might have helped to kick Andrew's 'baby fever' into motion:) We had a really great visit with all our family and friends. Jake spent a lot of time at Uncle David and Aunt Carol's house in the pool and has become a really great swimmer. He even started doing front and back flips off the diving board (good thing I wasn't there to witness that:) When it was time to come home, Pop and Bobbi told Jake he could stay at there house by himself for another week or so and they would bring him home. He "thought about it for a while" and decided he would. So he had his own little vacation for a week (and so did Mommy and Daddy:)
