Summer Vacation Already?

 Picking blackberries at Grandma and Grandpa's farm
 They wanted to make a pie, but sadly we didn't make it in time
and the berries molded
 We improvised on the "Watch Ya Mouth" game.
 Grandma and Grandpa helped us hang up the zip line.
Fun, fun, fun!
 Delivering bacon to Daddy at work.
 Evren lost his first tooth by trying to get Legos apart with his teeth.
 Downtime
 We went 5 weeks without seeing our cousins.
They were very excited to be back together.
 More fun in the sun with reusable water balloons.
 The water from the hose is cold, but they still enjoy the pool.
 Playing Ring Around the Rosie

 The girls had to write a silly story for school.
They enjoy writing stories.
 Here is Maven's story.

Spring Break

 Before everything closed down, we had a lot of fun in San Antonio!
First stop, Sea World!
 We didn't really get rained on much, it turned out to be a nice day.
 My sister-in-law's sister is in the Sea Lion show! 
 She let us meet Digit after the show.
He weighs 365 pounds and was one of 
the smaller sea lions, but seemed huge up close.
 Digit sang "Happy Birthday" to Shanda and I which was very cool.
 Emry didn't want to ride in his stroller as much as he wanted to push it.
 Next stop, riding horses with some friends.
The kids loved the bouncing when the horse ran at a trot.
 Dylan is a serious picture person. 
Evren only rode once and tried to make it look like he didn't like it, 
but couldn't keep a straight face when the horse was trotting. 
 14 cats, 7 dogs, 2 horses. The girls enjoyed them all. 
Fun to hang out with friends.
You can probably tell who owns the horses.
 We walked around the Alamo and walked on the River Walk.
 Ate at the gristmill in Gruene. Such a lovely place.
 Canyon Lake where our condos were. 
 Happy with his bat and ball.
Natural Bridge Caverns wore us out!
180 ft down, 70 degrees, and very humid.
 But not enough to skip the awesome ropes course which included zip lines.
 That is Maven hanging from the zip line.
 Lastly, we went to a place called Epic Fun in Austin.
Maren climbed this wall easily.
Epic fun was an accurate name.
 Grandpa joined the fun.
 Evren was sure happy to find a Transformers arcade game.
 We attempted a bluebonnet picture on the way home.
 The girls gave Grandma a flower.
 Now we are finding our fun at home.
