San Antonio Trip

Me, Chris, Michelle and Kris went to San Antonio for the weekend for Stampin' Up Regionals! It was super fun! We took separate cars because Michelle and Kris were going to stay later and meet up with someone Kris went to school with after we left Sunday. 6 Hour drive each way and both times me and Chris left the radio OFF the whole time and talked and just relaxed in the silence of the road! We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on the riverwalk. It was nice but not quite as nice as the last hotel me and Michelle got to stay at. The lobby and stuff was super fancy but the room we got wasn't that great I guess. But it could have been MUCH worse. Friday night we went to The Melting Pot. It was an awesome fondue restaurant that I've aways wanted to go to. It was very good, but cost $115 for two people!! CRAZY! SO next year when we go to regionals we will go there again but only for the cheese and chocolate and skip the main course. Which we will get at Taco Bell!!! LOL! Saturday me and Michelle spent the day at Regionals. We learned TONS and had lots of fun. LOTS of pictures of cards and projects to lift! The guys walked four miles for no reason while we were gone! They went to a brewery without calling first and when they walked 2 miles to get there they found out it was closed down, so had to walk 2 miles back! LOL. They weren't feeling well already so after that they were exhausted and stayed in the hotel the rest of the day!! Soooo when Michelle and I got back we took them to dinner. It was a fun time trying to find the place Chris wanted to eat but we finally found it! Durty Nelly's Pub! It was fun, food was ok. Didn't get to stay long cause Chris wasn't feeling good. Sunday we did a little shopping and then me and Chris headed home! Maggie got to stay in a doggy hotel all weekend LOL. :) We missed Gavin AND Maggie! Here are a few of the pictures from our trip!

Pumpkin Carving.

We carved the pumpkins we got at the pumpkin patch! I had never carved one before. At least not that I can remember. It was fun and messy! We saved ourselves from TOO much mess though and did it while Gavin was sleeping!

This is Gavin picking out his own dinner. :)

AND Gavin has been throwing little tantrums! For no reason what so ever usually. He will just throw him self on the floor and thrash around like he is being tortured. He does this when he doesn't get his way, when I walk out of the room, when he is ready to leave but we aren't yet, when he is too tired, lots of times! Here are a few images of one from one morning this week because he was ready to go to school but we weren't yet!

Pumpkin Patch 2008 - 10-18-08

We went to the Pumpkin Patch at the Bell Family Farm. It was our first time and super fun, we will definitely be making this a yearly tradition! They have a pumpkin patch, hay ride to the patch, tractor pulled train ride thingy, seesaw, merry go round, playground, tire swings, mountains of hay to climb on, lots of picture opportunity spots, a pond with catfish you can feed, wagons, face painting, etc. It's ALL free except the pumpkin you buy if you buy one, and face painting costs some. We took the boys with Gavin in his halloween pirate costume!!! Here are tons of pictures (but not near all the ones I took! LOL)
