Spring Break Days 1 and 2

We packed so much stuff for spring break this year that I'll need a few different posts to get it all in. On Friday the 13th, we picked up the kids at 10:30 (we made them stay long enough to be counted present for school) and headed to Round Rock, Texas. We met up with mommyspice, daddyspice, and spicygirl at their Pretzel Shop for a grand tour and a snack, We tried the world's best pretzels! We were thrilled to be with our friends again! Walt and I have missed them so much! We picked up pretty much where we left off and had the best time.

Before we filled up completely, we headed to the "Bunkhouse"; the spicy family lives on the coolest ranch! Micah and Sarah were AMAZED at the surroundings. The view from their porch is breathtaking! Nadiah and Hannah had a fantastic time playing with Spicygirl's Littlest Pet Shop collection. We chatted for a while and then headed to one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE restaurants, Chuys!

Walt hadn't ever been to Chuys and he is smitten! Ha! Our kids loved it too. There were 5 kids together that evening and they behaved so well! We then headed back to the pretzel shop to pick up desert... yum!



We spent the night at the Bunkhouse for our first night. We had 2 rooms all to ourselves to use (Thanks so much Mommyspice!), but our kids had their own plans for the sleeping arrangements that night. They voted that the boys would sleep in one bed and the girls would sleep in another.... that's great if you're not the mom of 3 girls! Needless to say, walt slept much better than I did that night:).

The next day, we chatted and hung out while the kids explored... they went out to see the cows, some wild pigs, and just about anything else they could find. They loved EVERY minute of it. It gave the parents a chance to hang out and chat it up.... so great!



We left around lunch time to head down to the Embassy Suites in San Antonio. That night we ordered room service and swam... our kids love room service:)

Nadiah and Sarah played fashion show and dropped my camera...it broke... boo!
These are the last shots taken by the beloved easyshare... walt bought me a new one on Sunday:)



Hannah ate our entire container of Chipotle Guacamole!!!

more to come,
