San Antonio

Yesterday was a big day for Katie because her best friends, Zoey and Kate, came over. The brought her a beautiful quilt with all of their pictures on it and a TON of toys to play with. They did their nails and put on make-up...it was good to see her playing again.

After her friends left, we packed up and headed to San Antonio. The girls slept in the car so by the time we got to our hotel they were ready to play. The hotel that Make-A-Wish reserved for us is HUGE. It has two pools, a lazy river, a small waterfall, and a beautiful lobby. Here are a few of our pictures of the hotel and our first night doing crafts.

This morning we headed out to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Safari. We figured it would be something we could enjoy in the rain...William's Ag teacher from high school, Todd Elbel, knows the owners of the safari and had set it all up for us. THANKS!!!! It was alot of fun until one of the animals stuck his head into Katie's window. She got a little scared but after she calmed down we continued to enjoy the ride. Laura Beth LOVED it...you should have seen her calling for the animals to come over so she could feed them. Grandpa would have been proud...it sounded like she was calling the cows!
