Corpus Christi, Texas

We were able to get a weekend away this week too! It was so refreshing and as we were coming home, I said to Jonathan that it felt like we were gone a LONG time, when it was really only about 36 hours! Thanks to a post on http://www.moneysavingmom.com/, I joined http://www.hotelclub.com/ and recieved a $30 credit towards a motel stay. We found a good motel for less than half the cost it normally would be and went to Corpus Christi, about 2 1/2 hours away. We left Saturday morning, we were hoping to get going a few hours earlier than we did but after getting home late the night before from the corn maze and having laundry to do, due to the mud, it was about 9:45 when we finally left Weslaco. (we left the house a little earlier but had a few things to do in town before we could be on our way.) We met our friend Jennie and her son, James and went to the Museum of Science and History . It was fun. While there we were able to get on a replica of one of Columbus's ships. This museum has two of them. Mike, Jennie, James, Kylie & Jonathan ~ I didn't realize it til later but I missed Korey in the picture, he was in the high chair on the right by Jennie. She made us a wonderful Sunday dinner ~ almost like being at home in PA: Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy & Green beans! Thanks guys - we had a very fun & relaxing weekend!Our breakfast waffles at the motel!

James & Kamryn (James is 2 months older than her and they had a blast together!)The new queen & king of Spain! =)Kylie as Diego, the cabin boy

Guess this catches me up on bloging! =) Becka comes tonight for Thanksgiving break and we are SO excited! Everytime Kylie has heard the dogs barking yesterday and today, she'll ask: "Becka here?" Today a neighbour knocked on the door and she was jumping with excitment saying "Becka HERE!" (not a question that time!) But I had to tell her, no not yet. They are sleeping so I need to finish up the house quick and start some food for supper and later when we get back from the airport!
