On Saturday, Bob, Emily, and I met up with my sister Gail and husband Mark, their daughters, sons in law, and their grandchildren. We were quite the crowd (totaling 15,) and we even managed to score a group rate at the San Antonio Botanical Garden.
Gail and Emily showed off their hula hoop skills. Bob and I were very impressed, being somewhat hula-hoop-challenged.
Moving all 15 of us, including 5 children, was like herding cats at times but we managed to walk all around the Botanical Gardens and see it all. What a lovely place.
The bluebonnets were in bloom and we were thrilled to see them. Bluebonnets are the Texas State Flower but up until now we have not been around when they were in bloom.
I was finally successful at taking a photo of our grandniece and grandnephews without anyone covering their face. Not an easy task. Such cuties!
Later on, Bob and I took Emily to Nicha's for dinner and enjoyed a delicious meal.
Early Sunday morning we bid farewell to Emily at the airport. We had so much fun with her that it was sad to see her leave.
On Monday we again met up with the family to spend the day at the Tower of Americas Park. The tower itself is 750 feet high.
What a view we had from the top, with all of San Antonio at our feet.
Afterwards, the children enjoyed playing in the splash park, sandbox, and swings. The Park also features 4D films and a museum.
We are taking a day off from sightseeing and visiting today (while Bob replaces a toilet seal,) but tomorrow will be taking the car north to visit our friends, Ron and Kathy.
