San Antonio

This year for the Wilson Family Vacation we headed down to San Antonio. It was such a fun and relaxing vacation. Thanks Mom & Dad Wilson for such a fun week. On of our Families favorite things we did was went on a river boat tour of the River Walk. It is absolutely beautiful! As you can tell from the pictures Boston loved it. I couldn't get him to look at the camera for a second and the ones he was looking he wasn't happy about it. Such a little boy.
We spent alot of time playing with our Texas cousins (wish our Arizona cousins could have been there we missed you lots!!!) Boston was very well taken care of by his cousin Porter. He fed him almost every meal, sang him lots of songs, read him lots of books, and made sure he was always holding his hand or pushing his stroller. It was probably the cutest thing ever!
One thing that made this vacation so great is that we didn't have much planned. We spent alot of time at the pool which the kids loved. Boston floated around in his little donut tube and had a blast. We even pretended to swim one night when there wasn't good weather. On Saturday we went to Schlitterbon water park. It was kind of a disapointment especially for the price, but of course Boston made it worth it. They had lots of little water slides for kids an he was in heaven. > We had a great time being with the family. We enjoyed some delicious meals my favorite being at Mi Tierra. It must have been some famous place because Kathie Lee and Hoda Kotbe from the Today show were there filming. The boys had a great time trying on the Nacho Libre masks at the market outside the resturants it gave us all some pretty good laughs.

Here is Boston with the last time he had his snuggley. We went out to eat and to the market and somehow ended up coming home without it. Trav and his Dad back tracked all our steps and had no luck finding it. Boston was very sad and I might have shed a couple tears too. After a very long night and early morning without sunggley we headed over to Nordstrom and they came to the rescue with a new snuggley. His new one isn't quite the same but pretty dang close. He knows it's different but is very satisfied with it. For those of you that have seen him with his snuggley can picture how tramatic this was for him (and me). Minus loosing Snuggley and the drive home it was a great vacation. I have to mention that on the way home my Sister in-laws car broke down so we stuffed her and the two girls in our car and I went in my Borther in-laws car. After being in his car for about 40 minutes it over heated twice and we spent about 2 hours between the two times on the side of the road in 100+ degree weather. Seriously what are the chances of that. What was suppossed to be 4.5 hours of driving ended up being 9. The kids did great which was a huge blessing. Mostly it was one of those days were you couldn't do anything but laugh. We were very blessed and everyone made it home safe thanks to our Heavenly Father who protected us in some very scary situations.

Thank you! Thank you! and Thank you! I got to hear about the vacation, but I didn't get to see it. So thank you for posting so many cute pictures. We missed you too. I am so glad you enjoyed it not being so planed out . . . Kevin and I had a good laugh over that one. I heard about the car problems. I am so sorry about that. It is miserable. I too am glad that all of you were blessed. I heard about Boston and I am so sad about his sores. Good Luck. We went through that with Tyler. He has never had them as bad since. It gets better from here! P.S. How do you put all the pics in one condensed upload? Love you - call me this weekend if you can. I would love to talk to you :)
