Spring Break in San Antonio

Before I get to spring break I'll begin with Bennett's 9 month check-up today.  He's a healthy boy for sure!  He's coming down the charts though.  He's down to 93% for both weight and height.  Still growing though!!  He weighs 24.1 lbs and is 30 inches!  I think he's catching up way too fast to his sister!!

Last week was Ella's spring break at preschool and Chris was in Las Vegas for the Sweet Sixteen so I decided to go down to San Antonio to visit my mom and Jim and some friends.  We drove down Tuesday and got stuck in Austin (YUCK) but other than that the kids did fine and then drove back on Sunday with no problems at all.  In fact, both kids slept almost the entire way after stopping for lunch.  Ella even slept while holding the DVD player in her lap.  We had a busy week.  Ella had so much fun playing with Grandma Ve Ve and Papa Jim that she didn't want to go home.  My mom and I took the kids to a park on Wednesday and relaxed.  Thursday I went over to my friend Leslie's house and the kids played and then that evening we had a girls night out.  Lots of fun!!  On Friday my mom and I took the kids downtown to the Magik Theatre for a play, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.  It was cute, although Ella didn't care for the added Jungle man character to make the story long enough for an hour.  He was a little scary in her opinion.  Afterwards she played at a great park right outside the theatre and then the kids napped in the car for a bit before lunch.  After lunch we went on a train ride through Breckenridge Park and then walked over to the Sunken Gardens and were home by 3:30.  It was a full and tiring day!!  On Saturday we went over to my friend Shea's house and Ella played with her two little girls.  We had a lot of fun!  Ella is already planning her next trip down.  Maybe we'll sneak in Sea World. :)
