Wild Oak Ranch

About a week before school started back up, we went to Wild Oak Ranch in San Antonio for a little mini-vacation.  It was a fun way to end the summer.

Big girl was ready for a nap

 

 When we got there, Avery was giddy with excitement!

 

 

Bill found a pizza place nearby on his phone.  The area was a bit sketchy but the pizza turned out to be really good.

 

 

When we were driving back to the hotel, Bill and I both spotted this low rider car with a last name printed on the back window.  At the exact same time, we both said, "What, what".  I don't know why.  I have no clue what we were thinking but Ave thought it was hilarious and repeated it the entire way back.

 

Chloe thought Avery saying "what, what" was equally hilarious.

 

 Just about every square inch of the hotel was amazing to Ave including the bathroom mirror and the balcony.

 

 

The next morning, we ate some breakfast, went to a time share type meeting (that got us an amazing rate on the hotel), and then got some major pool time in.

After a fun day at the pool, we went to dinner at one of the restaurants on the property.  It was a casual, fun place and the food was so good.

 



Somehow Avery ended up with three drinks :)

 

Next up was some s'more making. It was one of my favorite parts of the trip.  To say that Avery had a great time would be a major understatement!  Chloe on the other hand was a little less enthusiastic.  I couldn't tell if she was scared of the fire or really wanted s'mores.

Bill got really handy with our camera timer.

Bill had his fantasy football draft that evening (I just LOVE football) so Ave and I watched Rio after Chloe went to sleep.  I loved getting some one on one time with my oldest girl.

 



 

The next morning, we checked out of the hotel and went to the San Antonio Zoo before heading home.  I have fond memories of taking Avery there when she was a little over a year old, so I was excited bring Chloe this time.

 

Along for the ride.  She was so patient and chill the whole time.

 

The hippos were my favorite part last time so we went back to check them out.  The fact that it was air conditioned inside the hippo exhibit was a wonderful bonus. 

 

 It was a fun trip!  Now back to reality...and the school year!
