Just a few quick video clips from vacation…
Cassie swimming on her back (she can really move it) while Jamie… well, is Jamie:
Jamie going down the octopus slide:
The kids… err… dragon riders:
Jamie gives us all a lesson on how to swim in the wave pool:

We had a great time! Cassie was still a little weak from being sick, so it was 2 hours in the park and 2 hours back to the hotel to rest, but she was a champ! The kids had a great time, we had a great time and I feel really rested! Such a great vacation – the kids absolutely love Schlitterbahn (okay, we do too) 
Well we got in the car and Cassie started screaming for bread… So we made a lunch stop at Johnny Carinos. I will have pics and vids this weekend from the trip.
pull out sofa = sleepover for siblings
gameboy = movie time!
Thankfully vacation seems to have called a truce to the recent sibling wars. Having a great time… Kids are prunes!
and bribed with sugar….. Shhhhh… Don't tell granny grits….
I’m finally (somewhat) catching up with work and thought I’d finally load the pictures from my trip to San Francisco. What a beautiful city! When I become independently wealthy, I’m moving there. I mean it! *laugh* The IVAA Summit was great and I wasn’t leaving until the next morning, so we had six hours to kill. A colleague of mine, Lanel, is from the area and took Lauren (another colleague) around… talk about speed sight-seeing! I had a GREAT time though! Enjoy!
First up was Giants Stadium – they are baseball? football? I don’t remember… anyway Lauren’s kids are into it, so here ya go
Then we went to the Golden Gate Bridge. I seriously did not realize how MASSIVE this bridge is. It’s freaking HUGE. A helicopter going under it looked like a speck of dust. The cables on that thing are… it’s just really freaking big, trust me.
Here’s us at an overlook, some boats and stuff…
We went to the beach where I got this idea “I came this far, I’m sticking my darn feet in the ocean” Yeah… here’s a tip… the ocean in San Francisco is REALLY cold in April. No really.
You can kind of see Alcatraz (no time to do that, I wish I had!) in the background here…
And for a thrill we went up Lombard Street and then back down it. What’s so great about that? Well, it’s CRAZY.
This is us going up…
And us coming down…
And since that really doesn’t give you a good vantage of what this thing is, check out the top picture HERE
I had a seriously good time!
… And he's not playing a computer game!!!
I am sadly on my way back home. I will post more about my trip when I get back.
