San Antonio - Days 2 & 3

Day two began very early with my sister calling at 0730 in the morning to see if we were ready!! We weren't even awake yet! My sister is an early riser and I guess she expected us all to be. After everyone woke up and got ready (very quickly) we went downstairs for breakfast in one of the restaurants downstairs. It was a wonderful buffet with everything you could imagine. All of the little boys ate more than enough and we all returned to our rooms to pack our bags for Sea World. I had never been to Sea World before and it was pretty cool. With my father's handicap placard we were able to park on the second row and basically walk right in. We all took turns pushing Grandpa around and went to many shows. For the first show we went to, Jose and Ipolito joined my nephews in the front row! After the first splash Ipolito was done. He did not want anything to do with the splashing. The shows were really cool. They even had an Elmo show that let the kids go up and touch the characters. It was pretty cute! We didn't ride any of the rides and that was fine with me. Around late afternoon we went to the swim park played in the water for about an hour and a half. For dinner that night we went to Pizza Hut and had some pizza. The boys all had at least 2 slices each plus peaches!

Once we got back to the hotel we changed into our swim clothes and went to the pool for a couple of hours! These boys couldn't get enough of the water. 

Day 3 started the same as Day 2, only this time it was my parents doing the waking up. Apparently no one in my family sleeps past 0700! This day we went to Denny's for breakfast and Ipolito didn't break out! He usually breaks out if we go to IHOP or Denny's. I was armed with the Benadryl just in case but I didn't need it. Hopefully he is growing out of this egg allergy. Monday was our Six Flags day and we had so much fun! We rode many, many rides. Our little Ipolito is a daredevil and loves to ride any and all rides at least once. He may tell us at the end that he doesn't like it but he will try it!! After relaxing at the water park in Six Flags we went to have dinner at Chris Madrid's!

Papi & Pito

They had some amazing hamburgers! Even Ipolito had a little 1/4 of mine. We actually ordered him tostada's because we didn't think he would eat the hamburger (he never has), but once he saw his cousins doing it he wanted one too! He loved it!

That night after we dropped off Grandma and Grandpa we went to see Courtney, Jose, & Christian. They had a beautiful house and many toys for Ipolito to play with. Of note, our first night home during our prayers, Ipolito asked to pray for Papi's friends and their little boy because he let him play with his toys.

You can see how happy they were about having their picture taken
