Hi Y'all

Guess where I got to go during Mommy's spring break... TEXAS! We were there with Gramma, Auntie Anne, Uncle Bruce, and Cousins Lisa, Jeff, and Flora. Mommy and Daddy didn't know if we would make it there when I woke up the night before our flight with a 103.4 fever, but we did! Luckily my fever went down and we did a ton of fun stuff. We started our Texas trip in San Antonio where we stayed right by the Riverwalk. The day after we arrived I got to go on a boat ride on the river. The next day Mommy, Daddy, Gramma, and I all went to Sea World. When we first got there we had to rush over to the Shamu show because it was just about to start. Well, that meant that the only seats left were in the splash zone. Boy did we get wet!! It was like a tidal wave and I did not like it at all! Although, I spent most of the rest of the day without any pants on, I really had a blast! I tried to pet dolphins, we saw a sea lion show, and went inside an aviary. We stayed to see the most amazing show ever... Sesame Street on stage! By the end of the day I was able to stay awake long enough to play in the kids' water area, and then was asleep before we left the parking lot.

The next day Gramma and Mommy took me to the Children's Museum. It was unbelievable! I got to dig in sand and pretend I was an archeologist, play with a giant Light Bright, be in a bubble, play house, pretend I was a pilot, go shopping and a ton more stuff too!

That evening, Daddy and Mommy took me on a horse-drawn carriage ride. I had been begging to do it and I was not disappointed. I loved it!

One day we went out to eat on the Riverwalk and I choked so bad that I threw up all over Cousin Lisa. Poor Lisa, she had already changed her clothes earlier that day because a birdie went potty on her and now I did this! Well, at least I got a cute picture out of it when Daddy cleaned me up in the bathtub.

The next day, Mommy, Daddy, and I headed to Austin to go visit our friends, Tom, Tami, and Brett. Brett was so nice. He took me out on my first date and picked me up in his convertible Mustang. I was traveling in style... until it ran out of "gas."

One evening Daddy, Mommy, Tom, and I went out to eat at the Salt Lick. Daddy knew he couldn't visit Austin and not go to the famous restaurant. It was a long wait to be seated, but in the meantime I just danced to the live music. I was even good during dinner so Mommy ordered me a scoop of ice cream. I may have to be good more often.
Tami has her very own horse. While we were in Austin everyone kept asking me if I wanted to ride it. I can't even stand a carousel ride so why in the world would I want to ride the real thing?! Then they told me if I rode a horse I would have to wear a helmet (or as I call it, a "horsie hat") and even tried one on me at Tami's house. Forget it!! Well, we drove out to the barn anyways, hoping that I would change my mind. As soon as I saw the HUGE horse, I couldn't wait to ride. I let Mommy put the horsie hat on my head and I was ready to go! Horseback riding was my favorite activity in Texas! I can't stop telling everyone about it!
