texas trip

Not one of the best trips but we had fun as a family. If you have facebook I posted lots of pics. We went to the top rated water park and feel that it is wrongly rated, water world beats it by a long shot. That night liz had a migrain and vomiting. Then it was off to six flags the next day...had to drag liz around as she had a migrain "hangover". She was a trooper though and did the loop roller coasters. Mikaela also road her first one and that was enough for her. 95* temps with humididy was not pleasant on the girls (mom loves it). We all agree that six flags in texas beats Eliches by a long shot! Well we got out of there early because liz had done all that she could handle. We also did the zoo (awesome) and the river walk (beautiful). Then it was off to Padre Islands. Not exactly what we expected. Did you know that salt water does not keep sunscreen on no matter how many times it is applied. We did get the girls up at 5:30 am to go see the turrle hatch and release....they were not impressed with us or the situation but it was a must see thing. Then another day and the beach with a boogie board and kite for entertainment. Our last day there before boarding the plane we spent the morning touring the USS Lexington...even mom found it fascinating.

We returned to Colorado for the night and drove home the next day (liz did some highway driving) Sunday was spent relaxing, laundry and spending time with the granddaughter (Isabella) and Bree for the day.
