Memo and Papa's and Sea World

What more can you ask for?
We started the long weekend by driving up in the terrible weather to Memo and Papa's house. The forecast for the weekend was bleak but the weather really ended up cooperating in our favor and we had a great time. Saturday we drove up to a really great bbq place in the middle of nowhere to meet some friends we know from Hoboken but who now live in Austin. They have a little girl who's about a month older than Alice and they had a great time playing together.

After we left them we went to Memo and Papa's house and the girls (especially Alice) were so excited. In fact, she asked us to leave her with them and go home. Nick and I tried to go see a movie but it was sold out. So we did the only other thing you can do in San Marcos - the outlet malls.

Sunday morning we got up early in the morning and drove to Sea World. We saw Shamu and all the other whales; dolphins and high divers; sea lions that did great tricks and a walrus that was HUGE! The kids loved the shows but I think Alice's favorite part was playing the 'freeze' game with her buddies, Nate and Ava. They ran as fast as they could in front of us and when one of us said "freeze" they'd all stop and bend over. Needless to say everyone slept really well that night.

We spent all day Monday hanging out with Memo, Papa, Cousin Marin, and Aunt Amanda. It was a great trip. Now Alice keeps asking if we can go back to Memo and Papa's house.
