Spring Break

     We were able to spend part of Spring Break in San Antonio and Austin. We love getting together with my cousin Trent and his family (Linda, Max and Mason).  They are good and usually come our way to be with the whole Vore group.  It was our turn to make the five hour plus trek out there and spend time in their neck of the woods!.
     Trent and Linda were very sweet and a bit crazy to insist on taking the group to Sea World alone.  Linda wanted Brian and I to have some time to just do whatever we wanted.  How is that for kind?!  It worked out perfectly because it was our 16th anniversary.  It was so fun to have 30 hours to just hang out together.  I did feel a bit guilty as we were strolling down the San Antonio River walk, eating out at delicious restaurants and napping in our hotel room to think of Trent and Linda with six children...four of whom weren't theirs.  Everyone knows there is nothing relaxing about six children and a packed amusement park during spring break! 
     It sounds like the kids were spoiled rotten with the Vore group.  They ate out, picked up Shamrock Shakes, had donuts for breakfast, went on a hike, played badminton tournaments, and even went to the pool.  (Gotta love spring in Texas! And Aunt Linda spoiled the girls with new swim suits.)  Max and Mason will be twelve in May, and they are chameleons.  They just blend in well with any age group.  All of our kids love being with them because they are fun, athletic, sweet and inclusive with everyone. 
       Brian and I hooked up with them the next afternoon and enjoyed a yummy homemade dinner and an evening of visiting with Trent and Linda before heading back to the "Big O."  Thanks Trent, Linda, Max and Mason for a wonderful mini-vacation!!

I had several pictures I wanted to add...but the computer is not cooperating.  Grrrr
Here is a cute one of the group stacked up on Trent and Linda's bed watching a show.  (Aubrey was already in bed.) 

Ummm...only two separate shots of Brian and I celebrating our anniversary...and of course I can't get them to work.  I guess this picture of our delicious dinner at Papacito's is all I have to share!

     On the way home from Austin, we saw a sign for Marble Falls, the town were our good friends the Hemonds moved.  We made a quick call and ten minutes later showed up on their front porch.  It was so cute to see the Gwilliam and Hemond children reunited.  We were able to see the lot were they will be building soon.  I loved visiting with Melissa for a few minutes.  And again, I don't think I have one picture to show from the last minute gathering....but it was a perfect ending to or fun Austin trip!
