San Antonio trip #1 - part I

So trip #1 to San Antonio down! I made it all 4 days without Braden and it wasnt as hard as I thought. Leaving him was the hardest part. Especially since he had just started sleeping thru the night. But he stayed with my mom and I'm glad, because it was good to get some sleep. We had such a good time with David's friends. They had a boy that was 8 and a 4 yr old girl that Brody played with, they all got along great!! They also have an adorable 18 month old little girl, Riley.
The day we got there, we noticed a fire when we went into town. But thought it got put out. When we were outside, all of a sudden there were 4 helicopters and a plane. Two helicopters were getting buckets of water and dumping them on the fire. It was crazy, we felt like we were under attack!! Doug said in Arizona they will actually come and get water out of your pool during a drought!! How'd that be for a story??

On their porch. Apparently the cats aren't earning their keep.

This was the first ride they went to on Sea World. I opted out because I wasnt ready to be soaked that early in the game... So I went and fetched popcorn and pretzels for the Shamu show

Here we are at the Shamu show. I have to admit, once we got in the show I struggled with this. I hate that I paid to go watch an animal be caged up and made to do tricks for loud screaming people. It used to just be the zoo that bothered me so much. I dont know how or when I became this person, but it happened somehow...

Brody's down there getting soaked!
