San Marcos (Gigi's House)

To grandmothers house we go!!! Gigi, recently moved to San Marcos from California. So, we get to see her more often! However, she always comes to us!! So, I loaded the car and decided to go to her!! I made it a long weekend and drove up Thursday. The kids were excited, and I was looking forward to another road trip. What a fun summer!

She lives in a great neighborhood with an awesome pool, park and the waterfall damn all walking distance. So, we did all of that!! We did an awesome cave tour, which was really interesting. We couldn't believe all that exists under the ground, and the history behind the cave. Really cool. The kids wanted to hear every word and understand every detail.

We rode a "wildlife train," which was amazing. So close and personal with the wildlife. Eating out of our hands. There was some really funny moments. Lots of laughing and joy. Then, we spent an hour in the cave. Exploring and learning. Such a neat experience.

They also had this "anti gravity house" that was hilarious. The way the house was constructed made it impossible to walk straight. We were falling all over the place. The kids couldn't stop laughing....and I couldn't take pictures because I was falling too! ha! We made it to the top of the scenic view tower, which again, Trent would not join due to his newly discovered fear of heights. He doesn't cry or throw a fit....he just happily stays on the ground!! Can you believe that all these attractions were in one place! One stop! The place was called WonderWorld Park. A must go to in San Marcos!

We headed to a late lunch on the river afterwards, then played and painted at Gigi's! Then, the next day, we hit the damn!! A couple blocks away from her house!! We swam for hours. The kids jumped off the waterfall a million times. Trent slipped off the top and fell into the waterfall...what a great way to help his new fear of heights...hahaha! He bounced back and climbed back up to jump again! This was so scenic, so beautiful! We really enjoyed our time together.

Then, daddy met us the next day!! We all went to float the San Marcos River. It was about a 2 hour float. It was calm and fun! The kids were starting to get tired after all this action, so we headed home to shower and regroup. Scott and I decided to go on a date and leave the kids with Gigi. We had a really nice dinner and walked to a cute college town bar!

Then, Sunday was Fathers Day! Just me and the kids took Scott out to breakfast to celebrate. Gigi told us about this cute turquoise old house turned into a café. It was great! We topped off the weekend with a fun afternoon with Mimi...Scott's grandmother. We all met at Scott's aunts house for more swimming and lunch. Scott recently caught a bunch of fish, so we brought the fish and had a delicious meal. We adore Mimi, so Scott was very happy to see her on Fathers Day. Gigi was a wonderful host. Yummy food and lots of fun!! We all truly enjoyed every second!

The kids were pooped when we got home that night. I love this picture of FaithAnn, totally passed out with her long legs. Priceless. Such a great weekend!!! Summer is rollin' along with treasured memories!
