Mutton Busting

This afternoon we went to the “Hoedown for Heroes”.  The girls took a try at mutton busting.  They had to hold on to a sheep and ride it as long as they could.  It’s like a kid rodeo.

 

Kaitlyn held on all the way to the other side of the pen.

Delia was scared but held on tight.

           Caterers from around the area came and cooked out of their wagons.  The food was great!

Egg Hunt

This morning the girls enjoyed an egg hunt down at Fort Sam.  They had fun racing around but boy was it hot!

Lucky to Be Irish

We started of our St. Patrick’s Day with A Fun Run (or walk in my case). 

The girls were not very happy getting up so early but put a smile on anyway.

  

After the run they had wings, beer, and dancing.

Later in the day we went down to the Riverwalk.

We enjoyed snacks and music by the San Antonio River which they dyed green!

The Birthday Boy

Happy 29th Birthday Brian!

Just Like Old Times

Tonight we got to meet up with the Johnsons.  Jared and Brian were stationed in OK and served in Iraq together back in 2003.  After 8 years it was great to see him and his wife and to meet all the kids. 

The kids had fun going through Ripley’s Believe It or Not and the Wax Museum downtown.

      

With These Rings

Today Brian and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary!

Remember the Alamo

Today we went to the Alamo with Pop Pop.  It is located right in the middle of the city and is a shrine for those who lost their lives in the battle.

The Battle of the Alamo took place February 23 – March 6, 1836.  It was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution.  After Mexican troops killed the Texan troops at the Alamo, many settlers decided to join the Army and fight back.  They were able to defeat the Mexican Army on April 21, 1836 and end the revolution.
