Our last hurrah to San Antonio

Ever since Erica and I went to San Antonio for Nicole's baby shower, the kids have wanted to go back with me. We were trying to squeeze it in before school started and even considered doing an overnight trip there, but alas with our busy schedules a day trip was all we could do.

We left Sunday morning and drove there. We had planned on eating at Chris Madrids. We drove straight there. We forgot to bring the DVD player, but they did OK. Here are the silly kids in the car. (All of you who still have kids with cute little feet, this is what they turn into!! Not so cute anymore! Especially when you turn around and they're right in your face!)

We arrived at Chris Madrids at about 11:00. There were no cars there. Not a good sign. They were closed! Who would have thought. Luckily it's not too far from downtown and El Mercado which was our other destination. We decided to go eat at Mi Tierra where Erica and I ate before. Unfortunately our little detour put us there at about 11:40, and by then it was really crowded. We had to wait about 40 minutes for a table! It was worth it though. Delicious food! Great atmosphere too. The kids loved it! I had Chilequiles. They were awesome!




One of the main reasons Logan wanted to go to SA was because of the Mexican wrestler masks I told him that I saw. He loved the movie Nacho Libre and wanted a mask desperately. Luckily we found one for him just like Nacho's! As you can see he wore it all around downtown. But in SA we didn't receive too many stares. All the little boys who went by said, "He has a mask like Nacho Libre!".

We got Ellie a crown of flowers with long ribbons hanging down. Very princess like! She wasn't being cooperative with the pictures though!After we shopped around we decided to ride the trolley over to the Alamo. We've been before, but it seemed a shame to be so close and not go by. Unfortunately it was super hot (of course) so we didn't do too much walking around there. We stopped and got sno cones to help cool off before we rode the trolley back to the car to go home.

We had a great time and it was a perfect way to end the summer before school started!! Now I just need to convice Logan that just because he has a wrestler mask does NOT make him a wrestler! He's been practicing his "moves" on Ellie on the trampoline... not pretty!
