Ashley's Visit

Brad's sister Ashley came to visit us for a week and a half. It was so much fun to see her again. The last time we were able to spend time with her was before she left on a mission to Houston. We love you Ashley! Thanks for coming to see us!!

When Ashley got here the morning of the 21st we headed straight to the playground - even though she had been up all night traveling :(

On the 23rd we enjoyed a day at the overcrowded SeaWorld in San Antonio.

We squeezed ourselves into the Viva show and visited other areas of this amazing theme park.

Easter Sunday was an enjoyable, relaxing day. Our friends, Jim and Kristi, invited us and Scott over for a fabulous dinner and super fun games. They got us completely hooked on the "Ticket to Ride" board game. Love it!


We spent another day at SeaWorld on the 26th, which was fortunately a lot less crowded. We were able to see Shamu in "Believe",

a scuba diver feeding the sting rays (sorry bad picture) and the ski show that day.


Wednesday we went up to the San Antonio Temple to take some pictures (Ashley was able to attend a session the night before) and then went shopping.




That night Grandma came into town also. It was fun to get to spend time with her the one whole day she was in town!!! We packed Thursday full of activities since Grandma and Ashley were leaving the next morning. We were able to go to Caleb's school and have lunch with him (at 11 am, what's up with that?!).


Then we headed to the zoo for the afternoon,

and when Caleb got home from school we went to the park.
We really enjoyed having you here Ashley! Your welcome to come anytime!!

Hi-

I found your blog from searching blogs in San Antonio because my husband and I will be moving there this summer. We are both from Utah but have been at Cal-Berkeley for his schooling for the past 2 years. I'd love just to be able to talk to you about life in San Antonio if you wouldn't mind! Could you either leave a comment on my blog (www.3bgs.blogspot.com) or email me (bethany_468@hotmail.com)? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

Bethany

You have been one busy woman!! I can't believe you were able to cram so much into that mixed in with illness. So many fun photos.

Oh, and the house thing is going okay I just hope it sells soon because the laundry and vacuuming portion is making me crazy to keep it so "perfect"

We LOVE Ticket to Ride! I'm really bad, but anytime you need somebody to play with you guys, let us know!

I love it when family can come to town. We always seem to do fun things that often get put on the back burner because "we still have a lot of time" to do them. Looks like your kids really enjoyed the visit.
