The Meek Family: family vacation

We headed to San Antonio two weekends ago to re-live the family vacation we enjoyed so much last year. Once again, the weekend at Wild Oak Ranch did not disappoint! We love this place! It's like a dream come true for kids. So many different things to experience. What a joy it was to spend time together as a family at such a fun place!

We met my parents there and settled into our three bedroom condo and quickly changed clothes to enjoy the cool water. It was 110 degrees our first day there- ugh! A little too hot to be outside with little ones, but the water definitely helped.

This was Colton's first spin on the lazy river, as you can tell from further pictures he eventually warms up and absolutely LOVES the river! He's a bit unsure in this picture.

Sadie on the other hand never really warmed up, but tolerated her rides on the tubes with Nana and mommy.

Enjoying a cool drink while floating.

Colton was fascinated watching daddy zip down the slides.

Sweet boy - he has gained so much confidence in the water this summer.

Whatever Colton does Sadie insists on doing the same thing!

Sadie and her Pops

I realized I didn't take any pictures of our condo, but it had lots of room...Nana and Pops put themselves right across from Colton and Sadie's room. Which meant David and I got to sleep in since Colton woke Nana up instead of coming to find us. 5:40 came really early one morning. Thanks for blessing us with sleep Nana! Colton loved looking for lizards and rabbits on his morning walks with Nana.

Colton became a pro at shooting the water gun

And this is where Sadie discovered her favorite spot...the splash pad. I love her face in all the pictures. She squealed, giggled, and loved running through the spraying water fountains. Adorable! (yes, she's walking!....i need to catch up on posts!)

Colton enjoyed it too! He has gotten so tickled lately at watching Sadie be silly...he thinks she's so funny and will just laugh and laugh with her.

My absolute favorite thing was to float in the lazy river on a tube (preferrably without a sweet baby girl who I had to keep a tight grip on, - but she prefers her mommy, so she spent a lot of time floating with me!)

Colton spent a lot of time with his baseball cap and puddle jumper on floating next to us in our tubes. He loved it!

I guess we were all pretty confident she wouldn't step in! Check out that precious bathing suit.

Colton loved going to the game room with daddy and playing hoops!

Smores night, another one of my favorites. One night was smores, another was movie night. Sadie went to bed, but Colton got to head down with Pops and daddy to see a movie - Rango was playing...not exactly age appropriate for an almost 3 year old, but he enjoyed the 30 mins he got to sit in the dark outdoors and eat popcorn. We just hoped he wouldn't have nightmares about the scary looking lizards and animals in the movie. :)

Sadie and Colton loved the smores.

Colton's water uniform. Pops woke up early both mornings to snag us the best cabana on the river. We loved the view and easy entrance to the water. I don't have any good pictures, but believe me, it was a peaceful little spot!
