My Visit To San Antonio Texas

On Dec. 4th through Dec. 10th, 2012 I had the opportunity to fly to Texas to take care of Colby and Addie. Troy and Kori were going on a cruise and didn't have anyone to take care of the kids so I took some time off of work and flew to San Antonio. I was so nervous about flying alone but it ended up being a great experience and I didn't have anything to worry about. I met a couple of people on the flight that were so kind. What a blast I had with my sweethearts and I was so grateful to Heavenly Father for giving me this opportunity and for giving me lots of energy to keep up with them. Before I left I had found some ideas of things that we could do to help pass the time during the day. I went to the craft stores and bought everything I needed and loaded up my suitcase to take it with me. Each day I had planned for one activity for them to do.

Here are a couple of activities we did. They loved making the pom pom trees and coloring the nativity scene.

I had to post this because this is what I got from Troy and Kori when they got home. I laughed so hard. They even brought one for Roger that was a muscle man in a speedo of the American Flag with a $ bill stuck it in. We got quite the kick out it.

While I was there with the kids we ventured off to Target and I bought them some legos and they loved playing with them. They loved to create a big mess but were always good to pick up after.

I had taken so many pictures of just the kids so I had Troy take one of me and Addie when they got home. Colby didn't want his picture taken with me darn it.

Another venture off was to Kohls. I was so thankful for a phone AP that Troy had told me about because it got me everywhere we wanted to go. But I bought the kids this little book called "Do You Know How Much I'll Miss You?" I was able to record my voice to the words of the book and that way it would be like me reading it to them. They read it over and over so much that the batteries wore out. lol

I got to take Adaline to her ballet and tap class and it was so much fun watching her. She was awesome! She's the one in the middle.

We would spend a lot of time outside each day playing. Addie's hair is getting so long.

Another thing I bought them while I was there were these nerf guns. They picked them out and it was such a great cheap investment. They spent hours and hours shooting them inside and outside. 

Another adventure we took was to the Winter fest there in San Antonio which wasn't too far from their place. I had heard about it so we decided to go. They rode a couple of rides and bounced in the bouncy thingy. For the Winter fest they ship snow in from some place for the kids to play in since Texas doesn't ever get snow. It was pretty disgusting with all the hay and kids playing in it that I was glad Colby and Addie didn't want to get in it.
Needless to say I had such a fun time taking care of my sweethearts. Roger was sad he wasn't able to go because he had a couple of important doctor appointments but hopefully next time he can come.
