memorial day weekend

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!


Ava and her second cousin Shaylee. Ava had lots of fun playing with her.
