Texas trip- April 08

We had a super great time in Texas. A list of what all we did: shopped, played in the "park", waded and tubed in a river, went to Sea World (a favorite!), had a bonfire, went for sno-cones, saw a HUGE spider, had a tractor ride, played a lot more, got very dirty, ate a lot and slept a little. It was a kid-holiday. A lot of times there were 3 adults per 7 kids. Nathan & Phil joined us on the weekend. The temperature was perfect upper 70's and sunny. We hit Sea World with 4 adults and 7 kids on Friday. The kids were all really great. We saw dolphins, Shamu and more killer whales, sharks, fish, alligators, walruses, beluga whales, clydesdale horses and so much more. We stayed out of the splash zones and stayed perfectly warm. We took over the Reeves house and they were perfectly content with that! Gwen graciously gave up her room and Josie kindly let Gwen sleep in her room. Charlie could easily be forgotten about he's so content and sweet. The boys still talk about wanting to go back to Gwen & Josie's. Josie loved Addison most of all and would try to help her or play with her. We learned just how independent Addison was because she wanted no help at all from Josie. Nor did she appreciate anyone telling her she couldn't eat sand or anything else!
