4th of July in New Braunfels


 After having such a great time last year at New Braunfels over July 4th, we decided to go back again.  The kids went up on Friday with my parents, which was the day when Rob, Jennifer and their 3 kids went up too.  We got there on Sunday.  The day we arrived, we went and rode the train around Landa park like we did last year. 




All Aboard the train!
We also decided to go on to the Griste Mill for dinner in Gruene. We all sat on the beautiful patio and enjoyed delicious food!

Last year in New Braunfels, Addison really turned a corner with her swimming and this year was even better!  I love how well she can swim by herself and keep up with Emorie Claire.  They are like BFF's - I love that they are so close in age!


Cooper wanted to play in the game room a lot - ping pong, pool, air hockey, fuseball or whatever the boys were playing!

I think this is part of where he got the idea from - Trey loves to play in the arcade!

Cooper was also having fun in the Comal river even though it was pretty cold!  He caught a ride from Daddy back to the side after he attempted to do the rope swing - of course, I didn't get that on camera!

All American girls!


Happy Birthday America!

While we were there, Kevin, Rob, my dad, and Trey got in a round of golf.  We also did a half day at Schlitterbauhn, which was very fun for all of us and was plenty of time for the kids!
What a fun way to spend the 4th of July!  We loved getting to spend several days with the family and celebrating America's birthday!
