Winter Fun

Texas got nearly a foot of snow!  Crazily enough, it’s already  nearly all melted.  But it was fun while it was here, and we played in it for two days.  Megan even got Friday off of work (I stayed home, but worked from home about half the day). We had a blast outside; Megan built a giant snowgirl, I made a big mountain of snow by cleaning off a foot or so of accumulation on the trampoline, and I built the coolest snow fort ever!  The kids ran and rolled and jumped around the yard, made snow angels, and made a bunch of big snow balls to help me out with the fort.  A great time indeed, and I believe it even broke the record for Texas snowfall

Before the two-day snowstorm hit, we made a trip down to San Antonio for Jason’s graduation from his Air Force basic training.  We had a good time and got to see most of the Metz family for a couple days, even if the hotel room was a little cramped for Xavier and Ali (they did not like being in one little place for more than about 5 minutes…).  We explored down town San Antonio, saw the Alamo, went on a little riverboat tour, and went to the San Antonio Zoo.  If you’ve never seen it, the San Antonio River Walk is a really neat experience, with lots of restaurants and shops all right on the water and winding pathways throughout.  They don’t even have any railings up, so you are literally walking just right there next to the winding waterways.  We had to keep a really close eye on the kids, but there were a lot of ducks in the river that would walk right up to you, so the kids had a great time watching and chasing after them.

I did one big album with pictures from San Antonio and of all of us playing in the snow.  Check it out here.
