Night 2 on the River Walk!

After the zoo and quick baths we headed back to the River Walk.  We ate at a little steak house and then went to Rain Forest Cafe for dessert.
All cleaned up and ready to go!

Ryne and Daddy took the stairs while Reese and I had to ride elevators. with the stroller.  Ryne was in heaven with all the stairs!
Dinner time!
 We promised Ryne that if she was super good we would go to RFC for dessert.  She had never been and was so excited to see "animal robots".  Luckily she was great and we went for some yummy dessert!


 We ended up getting 3.  I ordered the donut holes to share with Reese.  Jeremy got an ice cream sandwich and Ryne got some worms and mud.  The donut holes were amazing!  They had powdered sugar on them and you could dip them in chocolate or caramel...yum!  Reese wouldn't touch them but J and I thought they were really good!

We let the girls pick out a toy on the way out. Their smiles in the car pretty much summed up a pretty great day!


San Antonio Zoo!

We were all our own all day on Tuesday so we decided to hit the San Antonio Zoo!  We stopped at a cute little bakery on the way for some yummy sticky buns, milk...and coffee for me!  :)  The girls were both so good the entire time and got several compliments.  I hate how fast they are growing up but things like that remind me of all the fun we will have as they get older.  I see lots of brunches, pedicures, and girl days in my future!  :)

 The zoo was just a couple minutes away and let me tell you...we loved it!  It was laid out a little different and it had some neat exhibits that we don't have at the Dallas Zoo that we frequent.  :)  Our favorite exhibit was probably the hippos.  I could just watch them frolic and play in the water all day!  They also had a really neat kid area that we spent a good amount of time in.  
We made it to the zoo!
 Of course Ryne found some friends that she wanted to hang with!  We did do a couple of things with them before I drug her away going our separate ways.


Playing at the crocodile exhibit.  Supposedly crocodiles have lenses over their eyes similar to goggles.
Of course we had to feed the birds!  Ryne is obsessed with feeding the birds and would seriously do it 5 times in a row.  Reese was a little worried after that one bird landed on her head but she handled it well!



This little guy was smaller than Star!  
The kid area had everything for pretend play.  House, tool shed, grocery store, vet, backyard, campsite, under the sea, etc.  We spent over an hour to wandering around where ever the girls wanted to go.  I let Reese out of her stroller here and it was a bit interesting trying to keep them both heading the same direction!



Ryne decided to write a word...this is what she picked.  Yep, proud Mommy moment!  ha!


playing peek-a-boo!





testing her flamingo skills! 






 Ryne wanted one more time on the lion family before leaving...I let Reese join in on the fun!


We had such a great time at the zoo!  I wish Jeremy could have joined us but somebody has to play for all our adventures!  :)

Tag alongs...

We decided to tag along with Jeremy last week.  He was driving to San Antonio for a few days so we thought...why not?!  We got there Monday and stayed until Wednesday night.  It was a fun little get away!  The first day we just did a little shopping while Daddy worked and then met back up for dinner on the River Walk.

The girls had a BLAST playing on the luggage cart.  I seriously didn't want to take it out of our room!  lol!




 It was a little chilly walking around on the River Walk but not too bad.  Ryne loved it!  She asked to ride on the boats but we are all cold so we promised her we could do it another trip when it was nicer out.  The RW  is super cool though and we enjoyed walking around with our girls!
 We ate at a yummy little Mexican joint that night.  Both my girls were loving the chips and cheese dip!  We all were really and were too full to eat our food when it came!  ha!


After dinner we headed back to the hotel and both girls crashed shortly after.  It was such a fun night!
