Wow! We have been so busy I have not written and I should have. Lets see on the 28th the kids and I went to the New Braunfels Railroad Museum. It was really neat! While we were there one of Jamie's trains came by. It was a long one. At the end of the train another engine was pushing it. Which means it was really heavy. Well that night I mentioned it to Jamie. He said that they were just up the tracks waiting on it. It was full of rock. For them to dump. He said it was 76 cars long! Way cool!
On Friday the kids and I met up with Cousin Rachel and Ashley. Rachel treated us to playing at the Jumpy Place. It is just what it sounds like. An indoor place with like 5-7 BIG blow ups. The kids had a blast!!
Saturday the 30th was Jamie's 34th birthday. He took a personal day so he could spend it with us. Well we went to check out Gruene TX. It is a historic old town. We really didn't know what it would be like. LOL!! Not for us. It was FULL of antique stores!! And bars! Well forget the FACT that we have 5 kids. BUT we also don't really care for antiques and we don't drink. But we did find a cute toy store. It had unique toys in it.
Then on Monday it was raining and cold(in the 40s). But that was the only day we thought we had to go into San Antonio. So we went to downtown SA. We usually love it. But not that day. We went to the Alamo(1st time). It was really neat! We talked to the kids about the culture of the time and why the 1st people came to TX. The film they showed was mostly on the battle. The kids really enjoyed it. Then we went to the Buckhorn Saloon. We would have checked that out BUT it was going to cost us $62 to get in!!! No thanks!! So then we headed out. I wanted to go see another misson San Jose(which is what the Alamo was to begin with). So we headed that way. I think we drove through some of the WORST parts of SA. So by the time we got there, Jamie said we are NOT getting out. LOL!! So we saw it from the car. It was beautiful and huge.
We had planned to leave on Wednesday. So Tuesday we were getting ready. We went over to Tom and Rachel's house to visit them all. And we did our laundry. We were there all day. Tom feed us again with his great cooking! The kids so enjoyed playing with Ashley. We got to visit with Tom, Rachel, Becky, and Elizabeth.
Well yesterday we had every intention of leaving but when we woke up it was pouring. So Jamie checked the weather again and it was showing a HUGE storm all the way up to Dallas. So we would have to drive up in it all the way. That is after we sucked in the slides that ofcourse would be soaked! So we decided we might as well stay until Friday which is suppose to be nice. So we had a good family day. The kids did school, took naps, and then we all went to Walmart. When we got back Jamie grilled out hamburgers(our picnic table in covered). They were delicious! Then we all played Uno. It brought back memories of my own childhood. We played it alot when I was a kid. We had fun. Then after the kids went to bed I put on a pot of coffee. Yes Jamie and I are old!! And we played Scrabble. Good time!! Why is simplicity so sweet?!
Well we are going to go and visit Aunt Becky and meet her boyfriend. We are hoping to head to Ft. Worth tomorrow.
