Our trip to San Antonio and the cutest cowboys and cowgirl

I am a little behind but wanted to post about Cyndi’s and the boys visit this summer.  We met Cyndi, Andrew, Jacob and Michael in San Antonio and had a great time.IMG_3672

We had a boat ride and were walking back to our hotel.  Purely by accident out hotel was in the perfect place to walk to the Alamo and the River Walk.

IMG_3702 The next day we went to the Natural Bridge Cavern.  They were awesome.  The entrance.IMG_3708

Here we go downnnnnnn.IMG_3710

You had to be careful where you leaned or touched.  The oil of your skin would color the rock and ruin the stalactites.

IMG_3719 It has been a long time since I have been in a cave.  We all had a good time seeing this marvel we call Earth.IMG_3725

Wow! They only grow something like an inch a decade (?).  I don’t remember but it was slow.IMG_3730

The amount of rock that is towering above you.  Can you imagine being the first one in to see these wonders?

IMG_3740 The water level was down from normal.  Usually the water is up to the white line and the water is aqua.IMG_3751

Next, we had lunch at the cafe by the Caverns. There  was a great climbing tower outside of the Caverns.  Everyone had to wear one of these harnesses.

It was an awesome tower.  You IMG_3763climbed up to the top on the right and then took the zip line across to the other tower.

The petting zoo after our ride to see the animals:

IMG_3787We had fun feeding the goats and other animals in the petting zoo.  Michael really had fun.

Everyone got into the action.

 

 

 

Hello, there! IMG_3805

We came home and Kathie and her family came to visit.  We swam in our little pool in the backyard.

We went down and fed the cows and everyone wore the cowboy hat!IMG_3823 Lastly, there is the pretty cowgirl!IMG_3824-001

We had a good time and then they had to go back to start school.  We miss you all.  Oh, Michael didn't’ want to put on the hat.
