Vacation - Day #2 - Happy Father's Day!

Although they didn't know it, the girls gave Ryan and I both a gift by sleeping late! #1 was up at 8:30 and #2 didn't get up until 9! They were up until 11pm the night before, so one would expect them to sleep late, but with our girls, that is usually not the case! We got around and headed to Krispy Kreme for breakfast. Before vacation, we had told #1 that she could get a pedicure and manicure while we were on vacation. There was a nail salon accross from Krispy Kreme, so we headed over there to get our nails done. My husband is such a great dad & husband! How many dads spend an hour in a nail salon taking pictues of his wife & kids, let alone on FATHER'S DAY?! Some of the other ladies in there asked him if he had forgotten Mother's day, or what had he done to have to do that on Father's Day?! We explained that we were on vacation, and as soon as we left the nail salon, we were heading to Bass Pro Shop! Richard & Julie met us at Bass Pro Shop after they got out of church. It was nice to get to visit with them a little bit more. We left Grapevine around 3:30 and arrived in San Antonio around 10:00. We only had to stop one time - for dinner. #2 slept for about 3 hours of that ride. #1 played the gameboy that we borrowed from Uncle Colby. They were REALLY good travelers!

Here is Dad with his two girls! We were in the Krispy Kreme parking lot and they were still wearing their donut hats.

The sisters took a shower together! #1 convinced #2 that it was just like playing in the rain. It worked b/c #2 doesn't usually like showers, but this time she didn't complain and beg to get out....well, not as much as usual! In fact, for the rest of the trip, she has been requesting to take a shower so that she can "play in the rain!"

I love this picture of the girls! I think they are cute in their matching outfits. And they are smiling and not hitting, pinching, or biting each other!!!!

We rented a car for the trip....thought we'd save on gas and keep the miles off of our cars. When we picked up our car, they gave us a free upgrade to a luxury car! It's pretty big and isn't something that I would want to drive all of the time, but it has been so nice for this trip! It rides really smooth and is all leather and fully loaded. I'm a car kind of girl, so all of the bells and whistles really impress me! We also rented a GPS unit that has been very useful. Ryan likes those kinds of gadgets, so we're both being spoiled this week!

Here we are getting pampered. I have an embarassing to story to tell on myself...but it is funny, so I'll humiliate myself! The last time I got my haircut (a month ago), my eyebrows needed waxed badly. There wasn't anyone available to wax my eyebrows, so I thought I'd just stop in some other day and get them done. Well, one thing led to another and I never did get them done. As I was picking out my nail polish at the nail place, the lady came up to tell me what chairs we were in. Then she looked at my eyebrows and said "And did you need your eyebrows waxed today?" I was so embarassed! I said yes and explained that I had been meaning to do that and I was glad she had offered, as I kept forgetting! Then, to make things even worse, when a different lady came over to wax my eyebrows, she says "Would you like your lip done, too?" I was horrified! I told her "No thank you." So....if one of you reads this and thinks that I do need to start waxing my lip, please let me know. I'm writing that one off as the people trying to make money and hoping that I really don't need to start waxing there!

The finished product!!

We left the nail salon and headed for Bass Prop Shop. They were having a boat show. The girls picked out the perfect boat for their Grandpa & Grandma to buy! We took some pictures of it.

We thought it looked pretty & shiny!

#2 thought the captain's seat fit her perfectly!

#1 LOVED the fact that it had a potty! If she could use this boat, then she would have one less reason that the pool is better than the lake!

What a bargain! D&T - let us know if you are interested and we'll get some more info for you! Ha!
