Staycation Day 7 thru 9

After having been down in Mercedes for a week, Auntie Diane and Uncle Paul came back to San Antonio for a couple of days before heading back home. So of course we headed downtown to take in the sites.

We had a great lunch at Rainforest Cafe on the Riverwalk.

Took a boat tour of downtown San Antonio.


And of course, when in San Antonio, you have to see The Alamo!





The next day, we visited the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. Rebekah wasn't that interested in going to the rodeo. She changed her mind once we got there and she saw the bungee jump! She had no fear and was doing flips on her second jump. She needed the first jump to get some air. I think this girl would have stayed on the bungee jump for an hour if they'd of let her. Maybe she too has a career in the circus?


Even Emerson got to bungee. She didn't get as much air as Rebekah, but she had a great time and looked so cute doing it!


Claire on the bungee.

There ain't nothing like a fresh, hot funnel cake to really make a girl happy.


Claire and Rebekah on the roller coaster.



Emerson and Daddy riding the carousel. They had a lot of rides and games for kids Emerson's age, which was nice. Parents were allowed to go on the rides with their kids, so even we got to go on some rides, technically.

Can't go to the rodeo without getting your face painted. My sweet little flower girl.

A beautiful butterfly.

A striking jaguar. The make-up artists were very good and they did such a good job on Claire, they took her picture and are going to use her on their wall as an example of what they can do. Claire's modelling career has started early.


I have to admit that we didn't do a whole lot of actual stock showin' or rodeo-in', but we had a great time anyway, and I bet Rebekah won't hesitate to come back.
