We had some special visitors last week!!! This is Michelle, and her 2 daughters, Isabella and Amber. They are from Australia, where Mark served his mission.
The kids love having special visitors, it means special treats...like doughnuts for breakfast, and...
...fun trampoline places.
I have to say that the place we went to in Utah, with the foam pits, was more fun. But the kids definitely had a good time!
Then we loaded everyone up and headed to San Antonio for the weekend.
We hit a couple accidents and construction on the way there. I think it took us 5 hours to finally get to our hotel.
Luckily the Alamo and the River Walk were a huge hit. They all loved it!
It was fun taking the kids. They are getting old enough that they can enjoy the sites too.
We were lucky to go on a weekend when they had lots happening. They had reenactments and period-dressed people all around the Alamo, and there was some sort of art festival right outside our hotel. The streets were blocked off and everyone could color all over the sidewalk and street with chalk.
Luckily it only took us the normal 3 hours to get home.
Michelle and the girls taught us all the Australian ways to say things...my favorite was "Mackers" for McDonald's.
Then Michelle treated us to a night of Australian dishes, including pumpkin soup from scratch, pumpkin slice, bread and butter pudding, pumpkin scones, and pavlova. Mark was in heaven! I think the pumpkin soup and the pumpkin scones were my favorites. It was all so yummy!
Next, we carved pumpkins...something they don't do back home.
