Going into 'Believe It or Not' Meseum

This was actually very intersting and we spent a lot of time in here. David, our little reader who loves history and science, found it particularly interesting.

Zachary starting his day with another smile!

There's my happy clean baby.....

- Zachary, after spending a day with no b.m. yesterday and worrying his mommy...decided to poop so much in this clean cute outfit while we were visiting the 'Believe it or Not' Museum. The bathroom was filthy and, wouldn't you know it, I left the wipes in the car! So....refusing to put my cute baby down on any bathroom surface, do to the yuckiness of it, and yet needing the sink to clean him, I asked Karl to please come into the women's restroom to wash and wipe down little zachary while I held him and then we changed him into clean clothes...what a great guy my husband can be! Only one lady tried to enter the bathroom while we worked with Zachary and she was more then understand as to why a man was in the women's bathroom but, a bit confused....she walked in and stopped frozen and then asked, 'Is this the men's bathroom or the women's' Looking at both Karl and I but not noticing the baby. I explained it was the women's but my husband was helping me with the baby and apologized to her for this...she was more then understanding and backed out of the bathroom with a smile.

Tyler is so funny...he swims very well both on top of and under the water. But, like last season is starting this season off slow wanting to the kiddie areas and test his skills. By the end of the day he was keeping up with the big kids going on all the big slides and in the big kid swim areas.

On Jungle Cruise

On the 'Jungle Cruise'! LOL . I just couldn't stop giggling at first on this. I didn't realize there were two boats that traveled the river. 1) a boat taxi 2) a tour guide. We happened by accident on the tour boat. It so felt like the Disneyland Ride 'The Jungle Cruise' only the 'monkeys' and 'tigers' in their 'habitat' were people....once I began to listen to the tour though..I found the history of the River Walk very enchanting and deep. The kids really enjoyed it too. From the faces on the old buildings meant to keep out evil spirits to the boys school now made into a hotel. We ended up eating lunch at the first restaurant to ever open upon the river - it was mexican food and really really good. I hope to return to San Antonio with either a baby sitter or friend to swap watching kiddos or with only my hubby. It would be fun!

Tour 'bus' of River Walk

Going to ride the boat!

Romantic River Walk

Oh so romantic.... don't worry we brought our six kids - great birth control! Plus we need two suites with this crew - which means Mom in one room with 3 kiddos and Dad in another with 3 kiddos....no romance this trip....even though it IS our 12 year anniversary on the 26th.
