Part 2: Time with Becky's Family in San Antonio

After Ben's Wedding, we spent a little over a week with my sister Becky, and had lots of fun and got to cuddle with their baby Miriam.

Miriam.  Isn't she a cutie? And just 5 months old. 

Mia loved all the new toys to play with at their house.

We went to the Riverwalk with my parents and rode the boats. Mia really liked being on the water, 

We ate lunch at the Riverwalk. We had Mexican food.  So glad for baby wipes. Interestingly while we were there the fire alarms went off  and a bunch of fire trucks came barreling down the road to the hotel connected to the restaurant. As far as we know everything turned out ok. We didn't see any smoke. 

The next day we went to San Antonio Zoo with Becky, her kids, and my mom. It was fun, but even through it was a cool day, somehow it got really hot there. Hats and short sleeves were a good thing to bring.

Mia liked checking out all the animals. 

Her favorite activity was pushing her stroller around. Lots of exercise for her that day. 

 James checking everything out. 

 One of my favorite pictures: James in the subterranean tube peaking his head out. 

Mom, Becky, Paul, James and Miriam. 

 Becky and Miriam taking a break in the children's activity center. 

Mia learning to fish IN a dry lake bed. Other kids happily fish from the side of it. When she does something she is all IN. 

We had a couple more days in San Antonio, but is was wet and cold so we stayed in mostly. Dee and I did make it to the temple.  Then we had to say goodbye and make the long return trip home. This time we decided to do it in one day. Amazingly, Mia was great through the 13 hour drive she just got fussy the last hour or so.  This was at out last rest/stretch break in Texas Canyon in Arizona. 

 It was cold, but pretty with the sun setting. I love the sky in this one. 

Happy to be almost home. 

Later that night  and the next day Mia would hardly get in her carseat. I think she had enough traveling for one week.
