Texas Vacation

Each year we are lucky that Brian is awarded with a MetLife trip for his previous years' accomplishments.  This year our destination was San Antonio, Texas.  We had been counting down the days until we flew to Texas and Bryn was cute as she doesn't have a concept of just what "Texas" is...the city, the hotel...what is a state?

After a quick lunch, we headed right to the pools.  The kiddie pool was excellent!  It had two mini watersides, a waterfall, fountains, another slide, and animals to climb on.

 Where do I go to first?
 Poolside snacks and drinks!
One of many trips down the slides!

On Saturday, MetLife provided transportation to the Riverwalk.  It was very busy due to a riverboat parade, but very cool to walk and eat in the area.

On Sunday morning, while Brian was in meetings, we participated in 
a rubber ducky race.  We got to decorate our own ducks!

 The finished products!
 And they're off!  

 Bresnan slept through the excitement!

 Back to the pool!

 Fun in the Sun

Sunday night's dinner was at a ranch.  It was great and Bryn loved everything!  
They had a petting zoo, pony rides, lasso practice, mechanical bull (she really 
wanted to ride!), horses, bulls, a real rodeo, and fireworks!

 I think she went in and out of the gates three times.  She loved feeding the goats.

 Pony rides

 Little cowboy hats were available to decorate - yeehaw!
 She was not scared to pet the armadillo.  

 One of the four longhorns they had to sit on. 
 Everything is bigger in Texas and these were huge!
 Waiting for the rodeo to begin.
 Dessert!


We switched hotels once the conference was over to extend our vacation a few days.  Our next hotel had taken over a tennis court for the kids to play.

 The slip-n-slide was more for big kids :)
The giant slide was also fun, maybe next time Bresnan!

Time to head home, but we had a great time!
