we loaded the kids up one friday afternoon and headed for the hill country. i think that rob and i both will forever love it here...
by the time we got to our resort, it was super late, so please excuse the poor quality iphone photo :) we unloaded and put the kids to bed. we had a big day planned in the morning.
morning came. and before i go any further, i just want y'all to know that we love to stay here. it's our second time to book this resort, and each time we leave a little more amazed. for us, the prices are too high during peak season, but if you catch it just right, it is just as affordable as staying at any hotel, but with tons of perks. my photos of the resort aren't impressive. that just wasn't my goal. but, in a nutshell, it's across the street from sea world, has a lazy river, beach, indoor and outdoor pool, splash pad, crafts for the kids, s'mores & movies at night, nature trails, water slides, playgrounds, and the list just goes on. it's super kid friendly, but at the same time, would be so relaxing if it were just rob and me. we could just chill in a hammock overlooking the lazy river....ahhh, maybe one day.
emma planned our little weekend getaway, so with Tigg in tow...
and baxter the bear for our little buddy...
and one amazing pumpkin spice latte....
we headed to our african safari. emma said, "we just had to do that first."
and bro was just excited to have the windows rolled down. it's the little things, right?
after seeing this photo, i promptly cleaned my mirror with a little spit and kleenex.
we paid our admission, got two bags of food, and were on our way...
i'll admit i was super scared surprised at how close the animals came.
it didn't take bro long to figure out to hang his head out the window like a wild chimpanzee.
i thought i cleaned that mirror?
ahhh...that's better.
we passed bro off between the two of us.
the whole time i was just praying that my windows would roll up, should i need them to.
meet our mud covered little fellow...
oh my goodness was miss emma excited!
and bro too.
next up were the zebras.
zebras are one of miss emma's favorite things...
i think this zebra picked us as one of it's favorite things...cue the high pitch screams!
oh my goodness! they were a bit too friendly.
i got a little panic-eeee.
and this little dude was a little freaky too.
we finished up our morning at the ranch. bro took a nap. rob did some work on his laptop, and i headed here.
with the sweetest girl ever.
just like her momma...
she could just dig all day.
so that's what we did. i helped her make a heart shaped pool.
complete with a river...
and some castles and tunnels too.
rob and carson joined us later on.
we did the sun/sand/lazy river/pool thing...
and wore these two slam out.
they {thankfully} made it through dinner. and then it was off to bed for day two.
