Dale Wayne and I went on vacation with my parents, brother and nephew in July. We spent the Fourth of July with my aunt, uncle and cousin at their lake house. We had an amazing time and Hayden learned to knee board and loved it.
The temperature was extreme everyday so we took some time out to go into Marble Falls and do some shopping. I took the Miranda and Hayden to play mini golf. The place had an arcade too and we all know I love arcades. It had so many fun games! My favorite was the mini bowling.
We really enjoyed our time at the lake and hope to return for a another long weekend. We left about noon on Sunday and made our way to New Braunsfel. We arrived at our resort and were a bit surprised; it wasn't at all as we expected. We loved the pool area and spent all of our free time there. We swam, played ping pong and the boys snorkled in the freezing cold Comal. We went to lots of our favorite places from our childhood visits. We ate at Pat's Place, Clear Springs and twice at the Gristmill. I have always loved Gruene and it was great being able to share it with Dale. After eating at The Gristmill we had a drink at Gruene Hall and then did some shopping at the local shops. We spent two days at Schilitterbaun, and Hayden loved each ride more than the last. On Wednesday we went to San Antonio. We went to The Alamo, The River Walk, The Indoor Market, ate at La Tierra and went to The Children's Museum. We had a really great time.
The plan was for Dale Wayne and I to bring Hayden home with us after him having spent two weeks in Alabama. Thursday morning when we were getting ready to head back to Arkansas we discovered that one of the tires on our car was really low. We put some air in it and took it to a tire shop where they discovered two nails in the tire. We decided to get some breakfast with Mom, Dad and Jeremy while we waited for the tire to be fixed. Thankfully that was the only problem we had on our way home.
