Easter Sunday

It was a wonderful Easter Sunday. The family got together and had BBQ. It was a nice holiday to enjoy with the family, and the day was a nice break from a rather busy Spring. I hope that it sets the mood for the summer arriving in almost no time flat.

Sea World

I am grateful that summer is right around the corner. We were able to enjoy a day of swimming at Sea World. The weather was great, and the water was refreshing. Since we have year passes, we were able to go into the park, swim, and leave within three hours, spending little money.

Hispanic Elvis

We met up with the self-proclaimed Hispanic Elvis. I've seen him all over town, but he lives on my side of town. I think it's great that he portrays Elvis and keeps true to the role. Everybody says that he is crazy, but I think he is unique. His life is dedicated to greeting people and causing shock and awe. I truly am proud that he is a part of the San Antonio ambiance.

Fiesta 2014

I'm grateful that the city extended Fiesta to two weeks. We are always very busy. We came to Fiesta early this year in case we couldn't make it out later. We always miss Fiesta. Now, we still have some time to make it out to another event.

Disney On Ice

I'm grateful that we've been able to make it out to all of these events since my daughter has been born. We have so many pictures of the magic that Disney creates on this tour. I'm glad that it is as interesting for us as it is for my daughter. And we got pretty good seats this year!

The Tower of the Americas

I'm grateful for the Tower in San Antonio. It makes San Antonio unique. It also brings in a lot of revenue from tourists who come to visit the Tower. It has also signified the San Antonio Spurs amongst other things. It brings great pride to our city, and I am very proud to say that I am from the Alamo city where the Tower resides.

Trampoline

My niece came by for an hour of play with my daughter. As you can tell from the picture, they had a lot of fun. I am so grateful that we have the opportunity as parents to have the kids play outside and be active. The weather was great, and I enjoyed the outside as much as they did.

David Robinson

I am very grateful that this man decided to come to San Antonio and play basketball. I'm also grateful that San Antonio decided to wait on him, which I'm sure influenced his attitude to stay here in San Antonio and give back to the community. I saw the first game that he played in and instantly became a Spurs fan for life. I also owe him a debt of gratitude for creating an educational environment that pushes my child to be the best that she can be.

Bluetooth Technology

I am grateful for Bluetooth technology. I use my Bluetooth headset all the time to speak on the phone and to listen to music. Today, I used my Bluetooth adapter to connect my phone into this stereo. Now, I can play YouTube videos while working in the kitchen with my family. It helps to pass the time.

Incredible

We spent the day at Incredible Pizza. We saw this game and we had to immediately play it. It's a Pacman like game where we start off playing air hockey and then about 20 more pucks get introduced. This repeats itself one more time during the game. By the end of the game, we can finally look up at the score. It was a great way to spend time with the family.

Electric Smoker

I am grateful for this electric smoker. I ran out of fire after which someone brought some food that they wanted cooked. So, I turned on this smoker and set the temperature and timer. You can see the temperature, and I don't have to do much to get their food cooked.

Texas

I was looking through my pictures and found this picture I took at Two Bros BBQ. It reminded me of why I am so proud of being a Texan. It is said that everything is bigger in Texas, and I believe that this depiction of the Texas flag shows just how real big our pride is in Texas.

Two Bros BBQ

I'm grateful that every now and then I can come to a place where BBQ is cooked and served to us. I'm usually the cook, and I slow cook BBQ. For it to be smoked for us means that I have that much more time for my family, and they have a playground set. How cool is that?

Basketball

I am grateful that my daughter has somewhere to play basketball. If anything, I am grateful that she knows the difference between sports. I asked her to name a sport, and she said Baseball by looking at the sport. At least she'll know what it consists of to play basketball.

El Musico

I saw this on the restroom door at a Mexican restaurant that we played at tonight. They have a woman in a folklorico dress for the women's restroom. I thought it was pretty creative. It certainly was a lot more entertaining than just having women's and men's labeling.

Mission Espada

I'm grateful for having so much history in San Antonio. When we came to Mission Espada, we learned so much about San Antonio and its history through this Mission Espada. I'm glad there was a tour guide that devotes his time to this mission and knows all about its history.

Breakfast

I enjoy having weekends when the family can actually sit down together and eat breakfast. It puts a slower pace on the weekend than that of the busy weeks, which happens to fly by. I just happened to look up and have my phone in my hand at this moment. I almost didn't capture this image.

Savannah

I am glad that my daughter has a great cousin who is artistic. My daughter looks up to her so much. My niece Savannah wanted to go to college station to be a veterinarian. She decided to attend Our Lady of the Lake University. My daughter loves animals and wants to go to OLLU when she goes to college. It is so important for kids her age to start thinking about college. I decided to go on a whim during my senior year.

Rodeo

I am grateful that we have such a great rodeo come to our hometown every year. We don't make it out to the rodeo every year, but this year we did. I am glad we were able to make out and that my daughter was able to ride a horse again. She loves animals and especially loves horses. She is both afraid of them and loves them. I'm happy that she was given another opportunity to get familiar with them, so that she can appreciate them more.
