Memorial Day weekend we did lots of traveling and saw lots of family. First we were able to attend my brother Mark's graduation form dental school in San Antonio. That night mom and dad treated everyone to dinner at a delicious Mexican restaurant. The kids got to spend the night in a hotel for the first time. Boy were they loud, at one point our room was filled with 7 kids. Luckily, no one complained about the noise! On our way out of San Antonio we decided to stop by the Alamo. I think everyone else in town had the same idea because it was so crowded! The line to the main mission was a mile long. We tried to go into one of the other buildings but after being caught in a traffic jam, we just decided to walk around the grounds and take pictures.
After San Antonio, we took off to Austin to see some of Brian's family. On the way to Austin we ate at the best German restaurant in New Braunsfels, the food was so good and the restaurant was very authentic looking. While we were in Austin we stayed at Brian's cousin's Tonya's house. They have a beautiful house out in the country and were very nice to let us stay there for a couple or days. While we were there we had dinner with all of Brian's extended family who live in the area, went swimming in a lake and ate at another delicious Mexican restaurant. It was a fun time!

Aiden had his final soccer game of the season last Saturday. They played the team that they played their first game against. This time Aiden's team won! Aiden is so proud of the trophy that he got and carries it around everywhere.
Last week Dario went on his first field trip. The whole kindergarten went to the park. Families were invited to go also, so Brian took off half the day and we all went. Dario is still young enough that he is not embarrassed to have his family show up at school functions. When he was on the playground he spotted our big van pulling up and he got real excited and started waving at us. The kids had lots of fun running around and playing with Dario and his friends. After it was over Dario's road home with us. Before we left we let the kids cool off at a little water park that was next to the playground.
Dario brought home his Kindergarten graduation pictures a couple of days ago. Looks like he is graduating from Law School or something. Brian and I were joking that we should send out graduation announcements and see if anyone sends him cards or money!
