Log Ride

Seaworld San Antonio

On Firday April 4th we went to Seaworld with my parents. We were worried that it might be busy because lots of people were in town for the NCAA final four, but it wasn't at all. I guess Seaworld is for a younger crowd:) It was a perfect day...a little cool in the morning and then it heated up in the afternoon. We got to see all the shows including the Shamu show. We rode a few rides and saw lots of sea creatures. Hailey Mark and Dad rode the log ride. It has some pretty big dips and drops, but Hailey did good. She didn't do quite as well at the 4D pirate movie. Both girls got scared when the air or water would blow in their faces.

Spotlighted

A few Sundays ago Hailey was "spotlighted in Primary" a member of the Primary presidency reads some clues about a person and then we try to guess who is being spotlighted. Some of the clues were these:
Favorite food to eat- "Pizza"
least favorite- "baby food"
favortie Temple- "San Antonio"
Why I like primary- because "it's fun"
How I know Jesus loves me- "because he loves me when I'm praying"
Favorite thing to do outside- "Swing and Slide"

She was so excited she go a huge pair of "spotlighted glasses". It was fun.

More Easter Pictures

My Mom Always made this cake for my birthday, so I decided to make it for Easter.

Riverwalk

My parents have been in town for about a week we have been having a wonderful time visiting with each other. Today we went to the riverwalk in down town San Antonio. It is right across from the Alamo. It was the perfect day to walk around the San Antonio River. It was cloudy and a little misty, but it was great. We took a tour on a river boat and enjoyed hearing all the stories about how the river walk came to be. We also ate lunch at a little Mexican restaurant/bakery called Mi Tierra. It is in a little market place near the riverwalk.

Easter fun

We have had an eventful Easter Holiday. Saturday morning our ward had an Easter party at a playground at a local elementary school. We played games like sack races and relay races with eggs and spoons. The kids also did the bunny hop. It was pretty funny. Then they let the kids find Easter eggs. Both girls had so much fun.

Last night we dyed eggs. Hailey was a little sad when I told her we were going to dye eggs. She thought I meant "die". She did a lot better this year, she didn't drop the eggs so hard in the cups. Her hands were still multi-colored this morning though.

This evening we went to some friends house for dinner. After dinner we played a game called "crack the egg" where we each held eggs and then hit them together. If your egg cracked then you're out and we continued on until only one person was left. (I happened to win that game). Then we had a marshmallow and cascarones (confetti filled eggs) fight.

Fire balls

Our brother-in-law sent Mark a link to You tube where it shows you how to make fire balls. I was not very happy with him for doing that because of course Mark thought it was the coolest thing and he couldn't wait to try it out. So against my wishes Mark made a couple fire balls. It wasn't quite as dangerous as I thought, but I still don't think it's the brightest idea either. Notice that I made Mark do it over the sink, just in case he caught on fire:)
