4th of July Weekend..

We started out the weekend with swim lessons of Friday evening. I took the day off from work so we ended up showing up early. Caroline had fun checking every inch of the place out..and trying on my sun glasses.

Look how long her hair is! We might have to get it trimmed soon.

After swim lessons, we went to get ice cream at Dairy Queen with some friends.

On Saturday we went to the Comal River to hang out with a friend and her family. They camp on the river every July 4th weekend and we hung out with them before, but it’s been at least 5 years. I was shocked over the number of people on the river! I have never seen it that packed. We did a mini float and Caroline rode on my lap..the water was a little cold for her liking.


Caroline watched the guys play dominoes.

and napped outside.

On Sunday we went to Sea World. We went straight to the water park this time after waiting too late last weekend and not getting in. We ended up getting 5 chairs in the shade at the wave pool, which is hard to do! Some friends met us there and I realized that it’s a lot easier getting Caroline to cooperate when her friends are with us.


How cute are these two!?

This was our 6th visit to Sea World this Summer and we had no idea that there was an area where you can feed the dolphins and an indoor aquarium. The dolphins were awesome..so cute and they felt so rubbery.

This is what you can buy for $6.

This was Caroline when we got to the dolphins. There was no way we were waking her up! She’ll have to see them another time.


On Monday morning we were invited to go to the movies to see Cars 2. We decided to give it a shot because we had two Fandango credits.

She did pretty well during the movie. She got a little restless about an hour into it and Mario walked around in the hallway with her for about 5 minutes.

My parents came over yesterday afternoon and we ate pork tenderloin..yum!

Look how dark Mario is! Caroline definitely has his skin.

We went over to a friend’s house on the next street over to watch the Kyle fireworks. We were one of the only cities in the area that was actually having fireworks and we didn’t want to mess with the crowds. We had a perfect view from their backyard.


The kids watch the fireworks in their cars.
