Halvorson San Antonio Weekend

I'm a little behind on my postings, but as Facebook photos have advertised, we did have the Halvorson family down here to visit a couple weekends ago. Grandma, The Dude and Aunt Schming flew in for a 3 day weekend. They forgot to tell Uncle Bobo until it was too late - woops. Sorry, Uncle Bobo - you were missed!

Anyhoodles, our journey began in San Antonio which is about a 2.5 hour drive from Kingsville. Of course the majority of the weekend was spent meandering around the River Walk, reviewing menus and slumping into chairs, ordering crisp beers to battle exhaustion. It was a great time and after a chilly morning, the sun came out and graced us with its presence. It worked out well there was the Texas Independence celebration (in the form of reenactments at The Alamo) and also Mardi Grad weekend (in the form of beads pelting us on the river bank).

Staying classy with Bud Light tall boys.

The grandparents promptly bought Landon some San Antonio accessories while we were out visiting all the little shops along the way. The only thing missing was a mini gun holster.

"Why am I the only one in this get-up, Mom?"

All in all, Landon did a great job keeping up with the shenanigans. It doesn't hurt when you are super portable and can be carried everywhere.


The last day was spent relaxing back in good ol' Kingsville. We visited the King Ranch museum (beautiful black and white photos of ranch life - me likey and want to go back!) and ate some simple soup to allow our tummies to adjust back to normalcy.

The house felt really empty after everyone left... more visitors please!!!!
