San Antonio day 3

Steve was supposed to work today, so the two of us got up early to drive him to the San Antonio shop. He went inside but told me to wait a minute so he knew where to put his stuff and after about 5 minutes came out and announced he had the day off. We went back to the hotel and they were happy and surprised to see daddy. After eating breakfast we began the packing up of the room. I have gotten better about delegating so all the kids managed to pack their own bags. Yea!

After we packed up we made a last minute decision to try and go see at least one of the many missions in San Antonio. We ended up at Mission Concepion which is over 250 years old and took some time to explore the grounds. The chapel is still in use and it was very beautiful. Stephy loved the old architecture but the twins were kinda bored. We figure though they still absorbed some of it.

We then headed to Sea World again, it was finally in the 80's and it was crowded. We went on the water log ride and I finally joined them. The girls rode together and Steve, Matt, and I were together. The girls did not get real wet but you can pay to squirt people so somebody soaked our log. We then went to see the sea lion show again because the animals were not cooperating the day before and we wanted to see if it was part of the act. We found out that the show was longer and better when the animals do cooperate. We headed over to see the Viva dolphin show and Steve stood in line for drinks while we found a seat. After 30 plus minutes in line for a soda Steve discovered they wouldn't let you in the show even if they are just 1 minute into it. Poor Steve missed the whole thing. Sea World was now wall to wall people so we decided to leave.

We went to eat an early dinner and then it was time to head home. First we had to drop Steve off at the hotel where his crew was staying. It was sad because we won't see him for 2 weeks. After battling horrible traffic in San Antonio we actually blazed through Austin which is a miracle. We were finally home at about 10pm. We had a great time and I am glad we went.
