Spring Break Part II

Vicki and Terry (Nana and Papaw) came into town on Sunday afternoon! Nana was so excited to have her picture made with Maddy on her first day ever to wear pigtails! (By the way, Maddy HATES having her hair done. She shakes her head, "no" and arches her back so I will stop. I've started doing it in her highchair so she can't get away.)


We went to the shops at La Contera to buy Maddy some Easter shoes (which I can't even find at the moment!). Papaw bought her a hat and a dress and made sure to get this picture in his phone.


Later we went to Gruene to eat at the Gristmill. I think this is the first family picture we've taken (and I've liked) since we moved to S.A. So glad to have a new one! Maddy is in her new outfit from Marme here.


I still haven't even been inside Gruene Hall, but I love the way it looks at night.


On Wednesday we went to the S.A. Zoo. Logan and Terry shared the role of Maddy's chauffeur for the morning. By the time we left around lunch, there was line that was very, very long! It was perfect weather and a beautiful day!


The hippos were amazing. This guy was up against the glass for everyone to see and just hung out there for a good while.


My favorite...he was a little guy all alone. Kinda sad.


On Thursday night we went to Market Square and to Mi Tierra's. Since Spring Break was in full swing by this point, there were SOOOO many tourists out and about. While we waited we looked around the market.


Logan said this hat was the perfect "Woo Girls" hat for you HIMYM fans.


Another family shot. Two in one month is just amazing!


Maddy discovered balloons at Mi Tierra's. It flew to the ceiling after about two seconds, but Papaw was tall enough to reach it. I made sure to show Nana the huge painting of Selena. It's a must see for S.A. life.


On Friday night, we got to see more Fritts' in Houston. Garrison loved playing with "Maddy Lou" with an orange cup.


Nana and Papaw got to take $500 worth of vouchers to stay an extra night in Houston. They really had to twist their arm so they got to come see us one more night! When we told McKenna Nana was coming, she said, "My Nana?" She was so excited to see "Her Nana" and to play games with her all night.


Saturday morning Garrison lead the Orioles in their first t-ball game of the season! He is such a natural athlete!


Sofia and Mike tied the not later that evening and had an absolute BEAUTIFUL wedding in Houston. The reception was at Varga's. We watched peacocks and swans all evening, but didn't get to take any pictures of them.


The new Mr. & Mrs. Michael Scott Tilton (put that in just for you Jane!)
