San Antonio

Adam had meetings Tuesday and Wednesday so we were pool bound most of the day.  I didn't take as many pics as I usually do on vacation - prob because I had a baby on my hip most of the time.    I didn't even bring my big camera out of its bag!  

We came home from Sea World and the girls and I hung out in hotel room.  Somehow Dad and Cooper had enough energy to swim.  We all showered and headed out to Mexican for dinner with other Alcon families.
 A bottle of champagne in a margarita!  Yes please!  What a genius idea!  It was so, so delicious and much needed after the sweat fest at Sea World.
 This sweet baby was so good the whole trip!  She just rolled with whatever we were doing.
 This sweet girl was my bed mate.  Yep, we had 2 queen beds so the girls took one and the boys took the other.  Pippi had the pack n play in the closet.  
 On Tuesday the kids slept until almost 10!  We swam, ate lunch and came back to room to chill for a bit.  I said to the kids, "let's just rest for 20 minutes."  Within 5 minutes they were both asleep and slept for 2 hours!  This is what Laney's bed looks like on most days - she's a hoarder.   When we came back to the room we were so cold so we all changed into our pjs - apparently Laney wasn't cold enough for a shirt :).
 The kids and I were swimming on Tuesday night while Adam was at a dinner when we heard there was an animal show on the lawn.  We jumped out of the pool and went to see the the show. 
 We saw a kangaroo, boa constrictor, sloth, and a couple others I can't remember.

 Why is it nearly impossible for all 3 to look at me for just one second!??
We hung out on the man made beach the whole time.  It led into a shallow pool that turned into a lazy river.  We walked that lazy river over and over and over.  The kids played so well-they kept busy and were so happy.  Coop had little blisters on his feet Wednesday night from walking that lazy river so much!
 She was up around 6 in the mornings. I would feed her in the dark and she would fall back asleep with Laney and I until everyone else woke up.  I love cuddling with her!!!!!!!
 The hotel staff handed out bomb pops one afternoon so Pippi had her first popsicle!  She LOVED it!
 This was my view most of the trip.  Her and I in the shade on the beach hanging with the other moms watching the big kids play.  
 Naps on the go :)
 We skipped naps on Wednesday so she fell asleep on the way to dinner.  Adam carried her in and we put her in Piper's seat.  She stayed asleep and we woke her when the pizza came.
The Alcon kids (minus Piper).   We had such a good time with this group - those big kids were such a help with the littles.  
 5 nights in one hotel room and too many hours in the car together was making us a bit looney!!!!!!!

 The big kids ditched us after the family selfie so we took a selfie with our baby.
Sweet sleeping sisters.

We checked out on Thursday morning and hit the road at 8:30.  After the drive down, we were pretty sure the kids wouldn't make it straight thru so we planned on stopping somewhere to spend the night.  Well, the kids were really good.  Laney still had her moments but was much better-even took a 2 hour nap!!!!!!  So we drove straight thru and 13 hours later at 9:30 -we made it home.
