For my Utah friends don't feel to bad...Provo, Utah was ranked #10.
Summer is almost here and this is what we've been up to:
Slip and sliding and swimming
Hanging out in the dark...power out for several hours. The kids were excited to get into our emergency backpacks to get the flashlights out. We had pack meeting that night for Christopher's scouts and they held it in the dark with glow sticks/necklaces. That was one cool meeting. One boy was receiving his "arrow of light" award and once the cubmaster handed his award the lights came on. Right on cue!
Volunteering at school for the fairy tale fair. Madelyn was a great helper.
Eating lunch at the boys school. Look at Madelyn hanging onto Christopher. So cute!
Celebrating Madelyn's upcoming birthday. She loves to go out of town and stay in a hotel so to celebrate we went to Schiltterbahn in New Braunfels. Schiltterbahn has been voted #1 Water Park in the world for the last 10 years so we have been excited to try it out. It is just a short three hour drive from our house. There was so much to do that come 8pm we still had not gone on every ride. The lazy river is by far my favorite thing to do. I could sit in one of those all day. That night I kept dreaming that I was still in the water going around and around. One ride actually takes you out into the Comal River. Pretty cool except for the algae on our feet. Nice and Slimy!
Our neighbors also went along with us. The kids had a blast and they think we should do this every weekend. Sounds like a plan to me.
The next day we went to a cave in San Marcos. It is the nations only earthquake-formed cave. It was neat to see the fault line running the length of the cave.
They were all amazed at what they saw and learned.
Look out tower to see the "Hill Country" on one side and the "Gulf Coastal plains" on the other.
We be Caven'n!
Eating Ice-Cream. On our way back from our get-a-way, we wanted to stop at the Blue Bell ice-cream factory. They were closed but we found a gas station that sells all varieties in yummy waffle cones. A great end to a great weekend!
