On Saturday morning we woke up early and drove to San Antonio for a little fun before camp drop off. We spent the day and one night at the Hyatt Hill Country resort. It has been on our list of places to go for the last several years and it did not disappoint.
The slides and lazy river were lots of fun!
One inner tube just wasn't enough.
Kyle and Jenna gave the balloon toss a try.
They had lots of activities planned... one of them was zoomagination. Unfortunately, we only saw the last animal but I bet it was the coolest. The kids were so excited to see a sloth.
Jenna wanted to touch the snake. Luke and I passed on that opportunity. Ha!
Bike riding
Sticky fingers, sticky mouths, yummy chocolate!
Our favorite activity was watching Beauty and the Beast on the lawn. They provided blankets and popcorn... it was the perfect end to our day.
This little one didn't make it very long. He slept through the whole movie and all night long.
Lane was already in San Antonio for a swim meet. We got up and ready early Sunday morning to watch him swim in a few events and pick him up for camp. He did awesome at his meet.. he got two B cuts. We are so proud of him!
Last year we sent Lane to overnight camp at T Bar M in New Braunfels for the first time. It is a week long Christian sports camp. He had such a great experience that we signed him and Jenna up for camp this summer on pick up day last year.
They were both so excited to have top bunks!
I was so worried that Jenna would have a hard time saying goodbye but she was all smiles! My prayer is that they make new friends, step out of their comfort zones, and most of all know how much God loves them!
Luke is thrilled to be an only child this week. His first request was to make slime so that is exactly what we did today!
Here's what you need:
*white school glue
*baking soda
*food coloring
*shaving cream
*contact solution
Step 1: Add 1/2 cup of glue to a bowl.
Step 2: Add drop of food coloring and stir until you like the color.
Step 3: Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda and mix.
Step 4: Next add 1/4 cup of shaving cream.
Step 5: Stir
Step 6: Stir in 1 tablespoon of contact solution.
Mix all the ingredients together. The slime will begin to form quickly and will be sticky.
After you pull it out of the bowl and play with it for a few minutes it won't be sticky anymore.
This little guy had fun playing with his slime and already has plans for a new color to make tomorrow.
Do you have a favorite slime recipe? I think we might try making it with the clear glue that has sparkles in it. If you make this recipe or have one to share please leave a message in the comments.
