Baby G's Blog: San Antonio

Update: Finally got the video to upload

Gabriella and I took a trip out to San Antonio earlier this month, to visit family. We had a great time. My aunt Stephanie, Uncle Jim, Matthew, and Barry, and Daniella made the trip as well. It was nice having everyone together, being that we all live so far apart.

Back when my mom, aunt, and uncle were little they all had their tonsils taken out at the same time. My grandmother has decided that that was a big mistake. Having three kids under the age of 8 crying and complaining of the pain was tough. To get through the time my great-grandmother thought it would be a good idea to have them all paint a nativity set. It seemed to work. They all sat and painted and in the end had a beautiful nativity set that my grandmother used. Eventually it went to my mother.

My aunt Stephanie always wanted one of her own, so my mom tracked down the same unpainted pieces on ebay, of all places. The idea was for all of us to paint the nativity set together. So, one afternoon we all got together and each painted a piece.

After painting Gabriella headed outside where she proceeded to chase Grammy with the hose.

The whole family went to Schlitterbahn, the world's best water park. Gabriella had a fabulous time.

A few days later we went to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Gabriella, Stephanie, and I spent the whole time in their water park section. There really is no getting Gabriella out of the water.
