Last weekend we headed to San Antonio to the JW Marriott Resort for a little family vacation with my parents and brother's family. We planned to get there Thursday and hang around the hotel, go to Sea World Friday, play at the pool all day Saturday and head home Sunday. Well, we should have known that all would not go as planned. Hudson started running a low-grade fever Wednesday evening, so I took him to the doctor Thursday to make sure his ears and throat were clear. Doc said he was fine, probably just teething. So we picked Mason up from his last day of preschool and got on the road.
We reached the beautiful hotel and knew that we were set for a fabulous weekend with our family. We enjoyed good food at the hotel restaurant that night and took Mason swimming in the amazing kids pool. The kids pool was 2 ft deep at its deepest and had three slides, fountains, everything. Mason loved it!
Friday we loaded up to head to Sea World and on the drive began to notice that Hudson was not feeling well and Sea World was not going to be good for him. So we dropped everyone off and took Hudson to the doctor. Unfortunately, he was not going to be able to participate in the rest of the vacation. We got a lot of one-on-one time playing in the hotel room.
But Mason loved Sea World! Aunt Kara even had connections that made it possible for them to got behind the scenes and pet a baby penquin and a whale. How fun!
The rest of our vacation was spent swimming and doing activities at the hotel. I even was able to enjoy a massage!!! It was a great start to our summer, just hopefully next time Hudson will be able to participate a little more.
Happy summer!

Hudson was finally feeling a little better before we left on Sunday so he was running in the grass with the other kiddos.
Mason enjoyed every bite!
This is my attempt at getting all four of the "big" kids to take a picture together. They are all looking, right? (Brookly, Caitlyn, Mason, Addyson)
One of the kids activities was to paint a rubber duck and race it around the Lazy River. Mason is concentrating on giving his duck just the right "look" for the race.
There was even an arcade that the boys loved. The racing games were their favorites!
Mason had a blast at the kid pool, but his all-time favorite was the big-huge intertube slide that he rode over and over again with Scott and I. Last summer this child would not even let water splash on his face and this summer he is going down big slides. What a difference a year makes!
