San Antonio

It was my oldest sister Shelly's 40th birthday on June 14th, so we decided to surprise her and take her on a trip to San Antonio. My mom, 7 sisters and 3 sister in laws were all there for the party. Here are some pictures of my trip. Thanks for all the fun memories sisters! I love ya'll!



This is Shelly's house. We totally shocked her. She was so excited to see all of us. Most of my family lives in Houston but the rest of us came in as a surprise.




A picture of the river walk. It is beautiful. There's a tons of restaurants and shops plus it is close to the Alamo and other sites.








Some of my sisters trottin' along in front of the Alamo.














This is where you'll find the best mexican food north of the Rio Grande.









Some more of my sisters posing for a quick picture while we were walking.










Aren't we a fun lookin' bunch of gals?












Shelly's birthday party. Happy birthday. We love you!










There are 11 children in my family. The line up is 3 older brothers and 3 older sisters, and then the 5 youngest are all girls in a row. We were always called the 5 little girls. That is why we are holding up 5 fingers. I loved growing up with these sisters.






Here we are taking the trolley from our hotel to go to dinner.








This is obviously Shamu doing some kind of back flip.





We all wore these green t-shirts to Sea World that said, Shelly's my favorite", because Shelly always tried to convince us she was the favorite. For example, instead of signing her name she would just sign from, "the favorite" and we would know it was from her.

That looks like a fun trip and an even funner group of girls! That is funny about your older sister calling herself the favorite. Lindsay used to tell me that our parents liked her better because they'd known her longer. Must be an older sister thing. :)
