San Antonio with the Coopers

Our friends, the Coopers, moved from Phoenix to San Antonio so we decided to make a trip down to see them and their new house.  Marley and Charlie are 3 months apart.  Ezra and Grace are about 6 months apart.  The Coopers were gracious enough to let us stay with them while we visited San Antonio.  We tried Rudy's, this BBQ joint that everyone raves about (and Erza ended up barfing all over the floor in) and we went to Corpus Christi for a few days as well.
 Ezra, Charlie, Marley, and Grace




 We stopped by this gas station/convenient store called Buc-ee's.  It is the Costco of gas stations.  There were something like 30 gas pumps and the store itself was MASSIVE.  It had every type of convenient store type food, treat, and drink you could possibly imagine.  It was so ridiculously unreal!
 That wall of candy is INSANE!


 It's the Buc-ee beaver hat!


 Nice bumper sticker!




 This store is like 20,000 square feet or some crazy number like that!

 Apparently Marley got bored in the car when we were going somewhere at one point because I found all these crazy pictures she took of herself!





Even though the beach near the rental house we stayed in Corpus Christi had lots of seaweed and other ocean debris, the water was WONDERFUL!  It was so warm and even I got in.  There were so many shells that Marley had buckets full of them because she wanted to pick up everyone she saw!

  Kevin and Chantae are helping Marley find shells.

 For whatever insane reason, Kevin and Karl decided to spend time putting together this 500 piece puzzle.  I have zero patience for these types of things and can't be credited for helping it come together. But look how proud they all are!  Good job!!


 There was a pool in the housing complex we stayed in.  Marley would have stayed there all day, if we'd let her.  After lots of encouragement, we finally got her to jump in the pool by herself!  I wish she would try to do it without the arm floaties on!

 Grace may look all-smiles but she and Ezra had a power struggle over the sand castle and toys!

 On our drive back, our car had to be ferried across an inlet of the ocean (at least, I think that's what it was).

 Grace loved riding this horse thing!






Another wacky picture Marley took of herself!
