San Antonio Trip & Halloween 2012!

The past week or so has been pretty busy around here, but lots of fun!  Last wednesday we had Jayda's girl scout meeting.  The girls had a good time playing at the park beforehand, as usual, and the girls had fun celebrating Halloween a little early.

 

Silly girls on the slide!

My sweet big girl!



The girls made halloween masks and Sydney got to participate too!

 

Time for the mask parade.
 

 Then, last friday Jacob and I had a super fun date night and went to The Woodlands Pavillion to watch Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean in concert.  Jacob has some super sweet clients that give us tickets to whatever concerts we want to see so we took them up on their offer.  Luke Bryan sang first for an hour and then Jason Aldean came on for another hour.  I definitely enjoyed Luke Bryan more, I think I like his love songs more while Jacob likes Jason Aldean's loud and fast paced music.  We had a great time and it was so nice to get out on our own.  Thank you so much to Justin and Lourdes for babysitting so that we could have a night out, y'all are awesome!!

 

On saturday morning, after a late night out the night before, we got up early and headed to San Antonio.  My cousin Stuart's wedding was on sunday in San Antonio so we thought it would be fun to go down early and take the girls to Sea World since we'd never had the chance to do that.  We dropped Daisy off with Justin and Lourdes (we love you guys!!!) and made the 3 hour trek down to San Antone.  The girls did pretty good in the car and we made it to Sea World by 2:00 p.m. saturday afternoon.  We all had an absolute blast and are so glad we made the trip!  We started off feeding the dolphins and I thought that was the neatest thing ever!

 

All ready to feed the dolphins with daddy.

 

Jayda loved feeding the dolphins fish.  She kept trying to reach out and pet them too!

  

"Come here little dolphin!"

 

 

Sydney did not want to touch the fish so it took quite a while for her to actually pick one
up and feed the dolphin but once she did she was so proud of herself.  The girls loved this!

 

Sydney went on the carousel while Daddy took Jayda on the Shamu Express roller coaster.  They love going on rides!

  

Jacob took them on the caterpillar ride too, so fun!

We had to see the "One Ocean" show with Shamu.  It was amazing and so hard to believe how smart these whales are! 
The girls thought the show was awesome!

Ta-dah!  He's waving goodbye to everyone with his tail at the end of the show.

This was Jayda's favorite ride!  Jacob took her on it 3 times in a row and she LOVED it!

 

They just had to get their picture taken with Cookie Monster.  Sydney was very excited about this!

 

Lovin' on the sea lion statues.

 

There were several of these cute little picture spots all over Sea World since it was Halloween weekend.

 

 On sunday we walked down to the riverwalk to check things out.  We ended up taking the girls to a mirror maze.  They thought it was really fun, and we weren't sure if we were going to find our way out.  Luckily we did! 

 

Pretty pic down on the riverwalk.

 

 Sunday afternoon we came back to our hotel and had an early lunch and then put Sydney down for a nap.  Once Syd woke up we quickly got ready for the wedding at 3 p.m.

 

The girls looked so pretty for the wedding!

 

The girls were ready for the wedding and kept asking when Stuart and Jennifer were going to come out?!

 

Beautiful bride and groom getting married!

Our sweet little family at the wedding reception.

These 2 munchkins love weddings and love to dance!

Dancing with some other little girls at the reception.

Yesterday for Halloween Sydney and I, and Daisy, started out the morning by carving a pumpkin.

 

Daisy was helping us get the pumpkin ready to carve.

 

And we're all done!  I didn't get any pictures of Sydney carving the pumpkin, probably because I did mostly all of it!  She did not like the gooey insides or seeds so mommy had to do that task.  She did have fun helping me make the puppy dog and vampire pumpkins.

 

Poor little Daisy is barking at me to get her Halloween shirt off!

Sweet girls on Halloween after Jayda got home from school.
 

 

And the lil' pumpkin was already worn out before we went trick or treating!

 

Jayda decided to be Merida from the movie Brave and Sydney wanted to be Minnie Mouse this year. 
I thought their costumes looked so cute!

 

Merida and Minnie were ready for some candy!!

 

Since we were going to be gone we put a bucket of candy out for the trick or treaters to help themselves.

Look at all that candy!  Wow!

 

So excited about all the yummy candy she got!

                                    Hope everyone had a very fun, safe, and Happy Halloween
