MY DAD...comes to San Antonio!

Betcha thought I was going to say Austin! I found out a couple days before that my dad was coming to a carpet convention in San Antonio. I was so excited! We coordinated some time and I drove the kids down to hang out with their Papa Curt for a while. My grandpa Allman and favorite uncle Sam were there too. We made this a family affair. Who doesn't love carpet conventions?? :)
I haven't seen my dad since Christmas of 2008 and I didn't think that I was going to see him until we went to Utah in June. I was so very happy that he came! The kids were thrilled too. Steve was hunting so it was just me that took the kids to San Antonio.
We walked along the Riverwalk waiting for my grandpa to get out of one of his meetings.



Kyle loves doing flips off of anything that he can. In this case, it was a tree!
Boy I love this man! What a great dad. Good lookin' too :)
Here is another one of my favorite people...Bumpa. I love you!
We were even lucky enough to meet up with Uncle Sam!


We had lunch on the Riverwalk at a Mexican Restaurant. It was great being able to spend time with them.
Afterwards, we walked Grandpa and Sam back to the hotel and the kids and I went bowling with my dad. It was lots of fun.
This was Gabe's first experience with a bowling ball. He was pretty good. He played 2 games.
Checkout the scores. We really stunk it up! (Actually, I didn't bowl once...that would be Gabe that did it for me.) But my dad...WHOA! He didn't even break 100 the first game. He redeemed himself the second game.

Thanks for taking some time for us dad. We had so much fun. We can't wait to come to Utah and hangout with the family. I love you very much.
