Get Outdoors ...

Well, this morning I dragged the family off to Mission San Jose -part of the "San Antonio Missions" for the "Get Outdoors, It's Yours" event that I mentioned in my last post. Well, the internet news (and radio ads that we only noticed while leaving) really didn't provide much information. It ended up being very crowded so we didn't stay long. I actually expected to have more in the way of actual live animals there and people to tell the kids about the animals, etc. We didn't want to wait in the long lines and, let's be honest, the kids weren't all that excited about it. We did walk around a bit because it is a very nice area and the old mission church is very nice too.


We avoided a complete bust by taking the kids to the RiverCenter Mall at the River Walk for lunch. DS#3 enjoyed looking at the water and watching boats go under the little bridge the boys stood on together. We really only ate at the food court area because we knew that DS#2 wanted to get home to play with some of his friends in the green belt.


As we got ready to leave my wife picked up a pretzel (or two??) with DD and DS#2 while I picked up some cookies for DS#1, DS#3 and myself. DS#3 does like cookies.

Next week I have to get everything ready for us to go to Disney. This means letters to the schools and teachers, stopping the newspaper, holding the mail, getting the laundry done .... eh, you get the idea. This said, I am REALLY looking forward to Disney World this year. I am just a bit scared by how fast it the trip is coming.
