Back in the Lone Star state

Yesterday we got back from 6 fun-filled days in Texas. I made the huge mistake of going down there in the fall. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. We flew in to San Antonio on Wednesday and all 10 of us (6 adults and 4 kiddos) piled into our awesome 15 passenger van and drove to New Braunfels to visit my cousins Robert and Susan and their 2 boys Adam and Troy. We went over to Gruene and ate at the Grist Mill which is always a good time. From there we drove over to Kerrville to my Aunt Jodell & Uncle Curtis' house. Even though their house is huge, we stayed at a hotel because all of us together can be quite a chore for any host. Friday we drove back to San Antonio and went to Sea World. It was PERFECT! The weather was absolutely amazing and there was hardly anyone there. We saw most of the shows and the highlight was our "Dine with Shamu" experience. We had a great buffet and seriously got to be within 6 feet of the killer whales. It was awesome! Saturday we went out to my aunt & uncle's ranch. I believe it's a 300 acre ranch with all sorts of very cool animals on it including exotic animals. We ate the best bbq and just enjoyed our time together. We made it home last night. I can't say that the flights were all that fun though. Maybe when the twins are a bit older:-) On a side note.. my Aunt Jodell has been in the hospital now for a month. We were able to visit her in the hospital but we missed her terribly while we were there. It started with double pneumonia and progressed with other issues. If you could please say a prayer for her we all would greatly appreciate it.
