Spring Break

Last week was Allie's spring break. Despite all of our mishaps and sicknesses we still managed to do a few fun things. Mony and Papa were here to visit during the break and, as always, the girls loved playing with them. Just like with Grandma and Grandpa Huber there were lots of hide and seek and coloring. They also enjoyed playing with play-doh, playing in the backyard, in the toy room, and taking walks.

 We tried a couple new restaurants: Pappasitos - really cool atmosphere, food was just okay. Waxy O'Conner's - this place was on the RiverWalk so it was really loud and crowded, especially since it's an Irish Pub and they had just had a St Patty's parade that day. We just split a bunch of appetizers and some ribs. Most of it wasn't that great, BUT the buffalo wings and fries were amazing (we would go back just for those!)

Now for the outings:

RiverWalk 
We decided to take a ride on the river boat tour. The line was sooooo long, but actually moved pretty fast. We were glad we did it! It was pretty neat and relaxing.

We got the best seats.......at the front of the boat.

Lots of tourists around for Spring Break

McKenna Children's Museum

This place was up in New Braunfels. I had purchased a groupon for it in the fall. Allie had been there with Tami, Abby and Kaiya before so she was loving showing us around! We liked it a lot and spent a good chunk of the day there.

There was an area where we could do face painting!

Landa Park

After we left the Children's Museum we thought we should find something else to do so we wouldn't get stuck in rush hour traffic. So, we headed down the road to Landa Park.

Sea World
Our original plan was to come here on Wednesday. It was supposed to be the coolest day at 82* and cloudy. Plus, with spring break we figured this day might be the least crowded. Well this was the day that we took Avery to the dr and found out she had strep and an ear infection so we held out until Friday. Oh my goodness! This was the busiest I have EVER seen this place in all of the times we have been. We had to get to the shows 30-40 minutes early if we wanted a seat. We were jam packed for every show. It got up to 85* that day and there was no air circulation during the shows.......so after every show I felt like I was going to be sick.

Azul was the favorite show of the day
