a lovely sunburn

We’re having a fun time in San Antonio this weekend. The boys and I spent a total of four hours at the hotel pool yesterday!

The boys were quiet until about 7:15am, when I let them turn on the tv. I tried to go back to sleep, but that was a futile wish! ha! We had cinnamon rolls that I brought from HEB and bananas for breakfast. Everyone watched cartoons or played cars for a couple of hours, but by the time 10am rolled around, the natives were restless.

We swam from about 10am – noon, then came back to the room for Goober Strawberry (pb&j) sandwiches with Cheetos, Capri Sun and then Swiss Rolls for dessert. We had “quiet” time where not everyone took a nap, but it was nice to relax in the a/c for a couple of hours.

We went back to the pool from 2-4pm then came back for a Chex Mix break and get dressed for dinner. (They snacked all day but were still hungry! Growing boys!) As soon as Lane got in from his Army job, our famished bunch went to Pappasito’s for dinner.

Funny quotes:

1) A. told J., “It looks like you’re going to have a lovely tan,” then turned to me and said, “It looks like you’ve got a lovely sunburn.”

2) Ry told me, “All the boys are fishies and you’re a motorman.” I asked for him to repeat, b/c I didn’t understand. “You know, Ariel is a motorman! Girls are motormans.” Ohhh … a mermaid! Of course! πŸ˜‰

I was exhausted (and sunburned – waah), but Lane took the boys swimming AGAIN after we got back from dinner. They stayed about an hour, and thankfully, everyone settled down pretty well for bedtime.

I even got to sleep till 8:30 this morning! Wow! πŸ˜‰ Right now, we’re finishing packing up all our stuff. When Lane gets here in a few minutes, we’ll check out, load up and head to the Army Family Day festivities, then hit the road for our long drive home.
