A Visit from Grandma and Grandma Frost

A couple of weeks ago, Grandma and Grandpa Frost came to Texas for a visit. It was so nice to have them here for the week and we had a blast! Abbi is particularly fond of Grandpa Frost (although she still hasn't quite figured things out and called him "Grandma" the whole time they were here). Here are some of the highlights:

SeaWorld

We had never taken the kids to SeaWorld before, but we knew they would love it. So while Grandma and "Grandma" were here we headed down to San Antonio to visit Shamu and friends.

The kids at the hotel, before heading to the park.

Anxiously awaiting the park to open.

The kids LOVED feeding the dolphins,

even if they were a little nervous to touch them.

This wasn't planned, but Carter and Grandpa were matcheroos at SeaWorld. Carter thought this was about the coolest thing going. He was Grandpas little buddy all day.

Abbi loved the shows, she even danced and did the actions along with the performers.

Ammon ended the day at SeaWorld with a splash. Literally. He really wanted to sit in the splash zone at the Shamu show, so I moved down closer with him. He kept saying, "we're not close enough Mom, I want to get wet and we're not close enough." So, I let him move a little bit closer. Well, as you can see, we probably were close enough the first time.

The Riverwalk

We went to the Riverwalk at night and it was beautiful, and bustling with people. It was hard to get a good picture of it, but it was definitely worth seeing.

The Natural Bridge Caverns

These were a great find. Just outside San Antonio. Once again, the pictures don't do them justice. Imagine Timpanogos times ten and without the hike up the mountain. We saw giant caves and great formations.

Grandpa took our picture by this giant column.

Good Eats

Since Colby judges every vacation by how good the food was, we made sure to hit some good restaurants.

Genghis grill. I'm telling you, this is the way to do Mongolian BBQ.

Great BBQ at Rudys.

Shelf Building

This was the highlight of the trip for me. Colby and Ron built shelves in our garage. Not just any shelves but floor to ceiling, heavy duty, no longer do I have to move ten totes to get to the ONE on the bottom kind of shelves. I LOVE them.

The finished product.

Colby also now has a "workbench" for his hammer, and his drill. If anyone has superfluous tools they would like to donate to the cause, I'm sure Colb would love to work on "stuff" out in the garage.

The Dr.Pepper Museum

One day when the boys were in school, we drove up to Waco to the Dr.Pepper museum. We learned all kinds of useful information here.

Did you know that Dr.Pepper is not a cola and it's not a rootbeer either?

If anyone knows the tune to the Dr.Pepper jingle circa about 1950's, we'd love to know how it really goes.

Thanks Ron and Susan for the visit, we had a great time. And for those of you who were wondering, we would LOVE visitors any time- don't we make Texas look fabulous??
