Only 2-1/2 Days Left!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Decided on another short slide show for you today. I hope y'all weren't expecting TMI Tuesday.

Yesterday was a fun, relaxing day! We did the girl's pedicure (what has become an annual tradition) then headed off to Sea World to spend some time in the water park. It's been unseasonably HOT in San Antonio since we've been here. Yesterday's high temp was 102 - the fourth consecutive day over 100 degrees. Average temps this time of year are right at 90 degrees, but I'm not complaining!

Last night the "big" kids headed over to an 18+ club. My niece was terribly concerned that I would be upset that they were leaving Cam behind, but I assured her that there was nothing wrong with the older kids having some time together without Cam, and although he attempted to protest ("I get left out of everything") I reminded him that he had been included in everything up to this point. He and my BIL spent a few hours upstairs in the game room on the pinball machines and playing air hockey. Cam had a wonderful time despite his pitiful protest!

This morning we are headed to the zoo. Seems the San Antonio Zoo is considered one of the 10 best in the U.S. I had no idea! I'm not a huge zoo fan - might have something to do with this crazy feeling that maybe it's the people who should be locked in the cages instead of the animals *shrugs*

Tomorrow the kids are heading to Fiesta Texas without the adults. I am a huge coaster fan, but there is something about standing in line at an amusement park - in 100 degree weather - that just doesn't sound too appealing. Does that mean I'm getting old, or that I've just gained a bit of common sense through the years?

Unless they've done some major renovations to it over the last couple of years, the Zoo in SATX isn't that great. I hated it.

But, Rudy's is the best Bar-B-Q EVAH!

Let's see. . . ice cold margaritas with an air conditioned house or 100+ temps, long lines and deteriorating attitudes because of both. . . Yeah, I'm going with common sense too!

I've heard of Rudys- it must be good!

Biscuit said...

Totally common sense!

Let me just say, the DC zoo would be nowhere near the top of such a list. They struggle just to not kill their animals. *rolling eyes*

Common sense, an uncommon virtue.

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time! And I think it's great the other kids got to go to the club. But you guys seem so busy! Are you getting enough sleep? You'll have to go home and rest before you go back to work! LOL
