Vacation with Hubby and Friends

Last weekend Aaron and I had our first vacation away from the kids for 2 nights in a row.  It was the first time to be away from them.  We had such a wonderful time with our best friends!!!  Wished the weekend was longer!!!:)

New Braunfels 2010

We have taken a summer break from school and are having a blast!  The beginning of June we took a camping trip to New Braunfels, Texas and went to Sea World and Schlitterbaun.  It was a very scary trip in the beginning.  We got to New Braunfels late on a Tuesday night and the weather was not good.  Rain, thunder, and lightning allllllll night.  I kept looking outside periodically to check if there was any flooding because the rain did not stop.  The kids slept through the entire thunderstorm surprising enough.  Morning finally came and we got to take a look outside.  Hardly any puddles and a fairly nice morning.  So then we called my sister, she was staying a couple exits down the freeway on the Quadalupe River.  She asked if we were ok because she saw campers and people going down the river and noticed the river rose about 10 feet.  Well thank God we were all safe.  What a horrible storm!:(((

As the vacation went on we went to Sea World and had a blast with the kids.  I love the fact that there is a water park in Sea World.  So we watched some shows in the morning and after lunch we went to the water park area.

Once Schlitterbaun opened (it was closed due to the flooding) we spent the day there.  They only had one of the parks opened and a few attractions in another part.  The kids had a blast playing in the water all day.  I do have to say that is the first wonderful vacation we have had in a while, even though it started off rough!!!!!:))))))

Tuesday evening we had plan to leave for our trip well Caden took it upon himself to pack his own things Monday night.  He packed his rain boots, rain coat, Lightening McQueen backpack with his cars and books, monkey, and flip flops.  

We asked Caden...What about your clothes?  He said, "I have them on!"  I also asked, Why do you need your rain gear?  Well that night we watched a show that showed how they make RV's and after they make them they run it through a car wash to check for leaking.  Caden knew we were staying in an RV too and he thought we would be going through a car wash too!!!!  Good thing he brought them since because of the storm.
