We're baaaaaack

Wanna know why you aren't seeing vacation pix here.... b/c I didn't take any!!!
Actually, that's not true, I took a few at the zoo, but that truly is it. I'm super sad and upset about it, but there isn't anything I can do about it now. The thing is when we went to Sea World we bought 2day passes and decided that we go today and look at the shows and stuff and then we'll know what to take pix of on the next day. Well, it got decided that we weren't going back this trip. It really is a loooong story that I won't get into here, if ya wanna know it, you'll have to call me. :D
The San Antonio zoo was The Girls first zoo experience and she was pretty amazed at it all. It was SUPER DUPER hot though and I think that really kinda kept her excitement down. Aunt D met us there and I think we all had a pretty good time, despite the heat.
Sea World was so amazing and I think I could watch the Shamu show 100 times and not get bored with it... of course watching The Girl watch it was pretty awesome too. :) She REALLY loves Shamu. Does the whole wave thing with her hands when you ask her about him too. TOTALLY CUTE!!!

At some point during our trip, I thought I pulled a muscle in my neck (come to find out it was really a pinched nerve) and I was really in a LOT of pain and quite honestly, since I pretty much live my life with a headache I think I can handle a bit of pain.... um this was close to sending me to the ER I was so uncomfortable. We found a mall with a massage place in it... where I paid a guy to "massage", no wait, VIOLENTLY BEAT ME for 20 minutes. It worked for about an hour but then I was pretty much back where I started. I couldn't do anything, couldn't look to the right at all and I couldn't even lift The Girl. It really put a damper on the rest of the vacation.

Friday was my birthday and C did the most amazing thing and gave to me an ipod touch. So amazingly cool, I'm totally in love with it. I also had a new phone waiting for me at home and at this point I was getting really antsy to get home and play! We got my new phone for $.01 AND on top of that we are getting a $50 rebate visa card! So in essence, I am being paid $49.99 for this new phone! WHOOOO HOOOOO!

Saturday we went to Six Flags and C, The Girl and I pretty much stayed in the lazy river in the water park all day b/c it was another SCORCHER! We did go do the kiddie pool thing and The Girl loved that. She LOVES slides and water so combine the two and she's a happy camper. I got about 3 inches of sunburn on my arms b/c I was wearing a shirt that had shorter sleeves than I normally wear, it looked pretty funny, now it's all browned up. I haven't been this tan in years though. I sure do miss it! The Girl has a bit of a farmers tan too even though we slathered her in sunscreen everyday. C got his typical red neck and face and more freckles on his arms!

OH!!! Speaking of C... his glasses have been close to broken for a while. He's had them for YEARS and really it was time for new ones, but we just never wanted to spend the money. You know how the saying goes: 'if it ain't broke'... well, they finally broke at Sea World. NOTHING could fix them. We tried. Even tried JBWeld, it still didn't hold. We got him new glasses yesterday. They are funky cool and I LOVE them. C is still getting used to them. I'll have to post a picture of him later.

The Girl is waking... so I've gotta go for now!

~til next time!

Yes, it was hot, but nothing compared to a summer in Central Texas.
