Posing for a picture before the big game
Checking out the field
Ready to kick off
Watching all the other kids attack the ball :)
The soccer game was a ton of fun and we are so proud of our little girl! After the game we went to McDonald's with Uncle Mark then headed out on a road trip.
Matt and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Friday. My mom was in Hawaii and Haley had her soccer game the next morning so we decided to make it a family occasion for the weekend with a trip to San Antonio. We'll celebrate our big say one night soon.
Our first stop was the Wildlife Ranch. It was awesome! It's an African safari right in Texas. You drive through in your car and the animals come up and feed out of your hands. I'm not sure I have ever seen Haley laugh so hard. Jackson wasn't too sure what to make of the animals keeping wide eyes the entire time but he enjoyed it as well.
We drove in and were greeting by these guys.
Hey there buddy
Jackson checking him out too. Yes, the window on the car is down. Crazy!
This one knew just what to look for. Where is my food little girl...
They even have bison on the free range. Not sure I would keep the windows down for those guys if they were up. This morning they were just chilling.
Jackson getting in on the action throwing them some food
African cattle too and longhorns. They weren't too interested in our food, whew
Now the ostriches, that's another story. These guys were aggressive and so entertaining! Haley could not stop belly laughing at them.
Coming in from the top...
That's what I wanted
We even got to feed the zebras! This guy also got a little excited with the food and eventually we had to shut the window :)
Never thought we would get this close!
Oh no! Another ostrich. We had to close all the windows and he was still pecking at them.
After the driving tour there is a petting area where the kids enjoyed the goats. This one is more my size, mom.
Haley was having a blast
After a bite to eat we checked out the lemurs and headed back to the hotel. What an awesome adventure!!!
The kids took a nap then headed out to the pool with daddy.
Then we went to the "beach" and built a sand castle. Getting it started...
Haley checking out the lazy river. This wasn't heated and was freezing!
There's our handsome boy.
And our beautiful, precious girl
After some water our castle is looking good.
Whoa, Mom. This water is cold
Cheese! Why Jackson why do you have that big grin on your face?
Because I like to eat sand, Mom! YUCK. Jackson was eating sand by the fistful. Needless to say, he has had a very rough day today with a horrible diaper rash.
Today we took the kids down to the Riverwalk and on a boat ride. Not even 1 minute into the boat ride Jackson had a blowout diaper. What to do??? Good thing for us we were in the front of the boat. Bad thing for the rest of the boat, we were in the front of the boat, up wind. By the time the tour was over Jackson was not a happy camper. Poor guy's bum is not in good shape from all that sand. Ahhh, never a dull moment with our little man.
Despite the blowout, we had a wonderful time on the Riverwalk and finally made our way home. What a fun adventure. Can't wait to go back.
