Did you do something Blog-worthy last week?

We did!!

We just got back from our awesome vacation to visit Mom and Dad Williams in San Antonio. Yeah for beautiful Texas! Perfect weather (we hit the time of year just right), beautiful bluebonnets and wildflowers, fabulous spa-like accommodations and wonderful company. We'll be doing this again--now accepting donations! :)

Here are the highlights...enjoy!

Katelyn was so excited to fly. She's been asking to go to the airport often these days, so it was fun to finally get to take her. She loved it. I loved not having the fly by myself!

Leaving for the airport...it amazing how much stuff you take with you when you've got a family!

This was her face pretty much the whole time...she had so much fun! (And was a wild child! Whew!)

This is Josh before take-off...he didn't look so happy after take-off. He doesn't love flying like his sister!

We arrived!!

First stop, the Wonder That Is WHATABURGER!! I love this place! I've missed it! They just don't make fast food in Utah like they do in Texas!

DAY 1:

We did some Pei-Wei (thanks Mom!)

We did some HEB--man I've missed that grocery store... tortillas, samples, awesome produce...yum! They should come to Utah!

We did some park-idge (avoided the ants, enjoyed the SUN! Notice the hair--I don't think you'll see it down again on this trip. I had forgotten what humidity does to hair!)

We did some concert-idge (Emily's choir did awesome. I was amazed at the teachers and the program as a whole. Way to go!!)

Day 2:

Mike and I got to go on a date to Government Canyon. We had a great time practicing using our new camera, and we even learned some things. We saw a REALLY cool tree, which I'm convinced was struck by lightening, and a butterfly landed on my shoe! Sweet!

Crafting with Linda Binda...check out that concentration!

We went and saw "How to Train Your Dragon." Super cute; I wouldn't say it's my favorite Pixar, but it was decent. Katelyn liked it too, and Josh slept! Loved it!!

Day 3:

Saturday morning we got up and went to see the GOATS. Grandpa was so excited to take Katelyn to see some of his friends goats and other animals. Katelyn loved them--one goat was even named Princess. And there were baby goats that were only 10 days old...so stinkin cute! Mike may have even convinced me to get one.

The evening was spent Iron-Chefing, as is tradition.

Iron Chef Grains and Wheat!

Day 4:

The Sabbath Day Holy.

Church at 8:30 (whew!), choir practice, game-idge, naps, talked to Elena (happy new baby Matthew!). Good day!

Day 5: (nope...not done yet!)

Zoo!! Walked and walked and walked. Heard an elephant trumpet. Saw a REAL persimmon tree (which of the Watsons can sing the song?! I know I can!! "A preacher went out a huntin, twas on one Sunday morn..."), had a bird attack Katelyn's sucker, took LOTS of pictures, went fishing, said hello to a goat/sheep...good, good fun!

Taco-Taco Cafe: This place was so yummy! We loved the puffy tacos...it was rated number 1 taco place in America by Food Network and Bon Appetit magazine, so when we saw the special on TV we knew we had to hit it up. And it did not disappoint! We'd recommend it!

(So would Josh!)

Birthday party and presents--gifts all round and YUMMY fajitas! Thanks guys!!

Day 6:

Riverwalk Boat tour...this was COOL. I learned a lot about the city, the skyline, the riverwalk--and didn't even get sick. Katelyn loved riding on a boat, Josh enjoyed eating the map.

Emily finishes a 2 year long project! Katelyn LOVES her 'special blanket'

Pool with Grandpa-

Day 7:

Headed for home~! Can't wait to do it again!!

Well...did you make it! Did I miss anything? See you next post! :)
