Anniversay - A New Tradition...

This year is the first year - besides prego year - that we haven't taken a cruise or done an all inclusive in Mexico for our anniversary.  We decided to forgo the couples vacay to be able to upgrade the house and spend more on our family trip to Florida this summer.  (The sacrifices parents make!!)

So, this year we took the week off and celebrated here in Texas.

We left for San Antonio on Sunday.  We relaxed that day and went to SeaWorld on Monday.  Of course there were torrential rains that moved it just as we sat down and found a nice little quiet spot on the "beach" at SeaWorld.  They made the announcement that they were closing all the water park attractions and said to take cover.  Nice.  We ran for the car and got soaking wet.

We got back to the hotel took showers to get the sunscreen off.  We relaxed the rest of the day and just took it easy reading and watching TV.  You know, the quiet stuff adults can't enjoy when they have a 4 year old!!!

Tuesday was a much better weather day.  There wasn't a cloud in the sky in S.A.  We went back to SeaWorld.  Tommy was a trooper and rode some rides with me.  The best of that was when we stood in line for one for 30 minutes then got to the actual slide and they closed it down when we were up next.  Something technical happened and we had to wait 30 minutes at the top of the slide before we could go!  Tommy was ticked and I just laughed it off.  Whata gonna do?

Yesterday and today we're at the Mize Fishing Camp in Trinity.  It's so relaxing up here and I'm sitting up here writing this post and playing on the internet in the quiet.  We put the jug lines out yesterday when we got here and checked them last night before dinner.  We caught 4 keepers and a little one.

We got up early this morning and went back out to check the lines and re-bait them.  4 more fish.  Actually we had a dead one on the line so that makes 5 and we caught a gar so that's 6.  The gar was horrible.  I've seen them up close before but it's been a while.  I had forgotten just how prehistoric they look up close.  All those teeth and that snout!  Yuck.

We're going back home tonight but Mom and Daddy aren't through with Erin.  They're going to keep her thru Sunday so we can go out to eat on Saturday for our anniversary.  We were going to get her but they decided to make a trip to Vidor and want her to go with them.  They've been taking her to school everyday so they are getting a break from the workout, but I'm sure they're tired.  They may sleep for a full week starting Sunday!!!
