San Antonio Texas

In July (of 2011, that is... which is ridiculous that I have to specify....not that July of 2012 has happened yet, just sayin' it's been a while back...)

We went to San Antonio, Texas!  It was SO. MUCH. FUN!!!!

In July (of 2011), when he was two and a half months old, Thomas took his first plane ride!  I took my first plane ride on our honeymoon.  At 22 years old.  This is no joke.  My (now, nine month old) already has a head start on me in a lot of ways! :)

And Benson is so natural at smiling here...



Thomas had just STARTED smiling.  I LOVE those first smiles.  Nothin' like em. 



And Oh those EYEBROWS.  I cannot contort my eyebrows in this way.  This most definitely is a Ryan trait. 



We stayed at the J.W. Mariott in San Antonio  and it had an INSANE water park with a gazillion pools and massive water slides all over the place, right on the property.  Benson asks about once a week, when we're going back to San Antonio, Texas.  :)  It was by far the coolest family resort/hotel I've ever experienced. 



It's was the coolest resort Thomas had ever experienced as well. 



He was a fan of resort life. 



The water slides were incredible.  Here's Uncle Jo...



And Benjamin with Benson...



Uncle J with B....



Uncle J and Uncle Jo...



And Even GRANDMAMA and GRANDADDY had fun on the water slides!!! :)



You can see so FAR in Texas!  I mean, miles and miles! 



We were in the "Hill Country" and ate at a restaurant on the top of a "hill" and I couldn't believe how far we could see!! 



More enjoying resort life...



I love those squishy, itty bitty arms...



Here's our crew!  We were so excited that Uncle J and Aunt Brittany were able to come on their first trip this year, too!!  We look forward to MANY more fun times together!  It's great to love the people you work with and it's even sweeter when they are family!



San Antonio ROCKS!  :)
