- Morning Playtime -
Michael came down with a stomach bug last night. It wasn't pretty! Today he's been laying around the house resting and vomiting, fun, fun, fun. Tonight when Daddy got home Michael grabbed a book and cuddled in Daddy's lap. I couldn't resist a photo of the two of them!
While we were at Hemisphere park in San Antonio Mom took the camera away from me and got this great photo of me with Michael. He’s my Buddy and I sure do love him. We don’t have many photos together but the ones we do have are precious. Thanks Mom!
Mom and I were discussing tonight how Scrapbooking to us is about the Story behind the photos...Who? What? Where? When? 15 Years from now I want to look at my layouts or have other people look at them and understand why I took the photos and what was the story behind them. 
The Journaling reads:
None of my other photos turned out from my walk but below are photos I took of Michael and Mom in the yard cleaning up....
Varrrrrooooooommm....
I can tell he is working hard as he is once again using his tongue, lol.
My boy!
ARGH!! His wagon fell off his tractor, Uh OH!
Fix'in it!
Grammy loading up the wagon...
Mr Fix it again...
We were on the ground floor at the Resort and this was our view off our back deck....I took them in the morning and it was not very light out as of yet...
And a view of the front....
And a view of Michael posing early in the morning...too darn Early!
This was one of many waterfalls at Hemisphere park....
And a gorgeous view of Downtown San Antonio from the Tower of Americas....we had some great weather!
Hwy 37 looking South...a little hazy but compared to the last 2 days (foggy and misty in the A.M.) beautiful...
Inside the top of the Tower of Americas they had murals and lots of history...The flag above is Goliad's flag and information on Santa Anna and his battle campaign with Goliad. He was ruthless...you can click on the photo to see a larger version to read it.
Michael checking out the view...I was a little nervous as Michael seems to be afraid of heights but he was fine, Yea Michael! Wanting to be a Jet Pilot, I hope he out grows his fear...
This was after he was told NOT to play in the water and if he fell in we were not going in after him, sigh!! As you can see he did NOT listen!! Thank goodness he didn't fall in!
The water falls at Hemisphere park.
A view of part of Hemisphere park from above and if you look closely one lone mallard duck, lol....
Grammy and Michael checking out the waterfalls...
He was so happy and just loving all the water!
Mom and I can't remember what this was...possibly a Catholic church?
Michael sitting on a wall that was built on the old foundation of part of the Alamo's fort that sits next to the Downtown Visitors Center...He wanted to pose for me, lol...I don't think he knew what he was sitting on?
Some people were feeding the pigeons (rock doves) & Grackles and Michael was fascinated with them...he actually wanted to grab one but I told him that wouldn't be a good idea! He couldn't believe how close they were letting him get...once again Country boy in the City, lol.
Another pose for me at the River Center Mall.
River Center Mall....
River Center Mall looking back towards the Riverwalk....
River Center Mall and the Island in the middle....
The red building in the back with the Tower is the Bexar County Courthouse...The gray building to the right used to be the Library.
Faces on the sides of a building to ward off evil spirits!
A closer view of the tower on the Bexar County Courthouse...Texas has some of the most beautiful courthouses I have ever seen...
The American Flag, Texas Flag and I'm not sure what the third one is... Flying over a building....Beautiful!
A Hospital...
The same Hospital but a different view...They even had a bar on the bottom level...
A part of the Riverwalk...
A mural made up of 1 inch tiles brought from Mexico...Lots of detail!
Church Spire and If I remember I think they said this was a German Lutheran Church near the Alamo...but don't quote me on that, lol...I was trying to listen to the guide but I was also busy taking photos :o)
Okay so I've been in Texas 10 yrs + and to San Antonio so many times I've lost count but I have never been to the Towers of America or to Hemisphere park...it was sooo cool!! The Tower is over 700 ft tall, I forgot the exact height but it was a good ways up there and I loved it. Beautiful view and today it was fairly clear too...Yeah!
Alamo Dome from above!!
I had a blast at Hemisphere park and taking photos of Michael and Grammy...it was a beautiful day for photos!
Grammy even managed one of Me and Michael!
Mom (Grammy)...
Then we headed over to the river walk...I like to go to the visitor center and check things out and we walked by the Alamo. We've been in numerous times and decided to skip it today...(Michael wasn't being very patient today either, so it was NOT a good day for a history lesson, sigh!)
We did take a boat tour of the river walk...actually Mom hadn't been before and Michael was up for a boat ride...I did manage some pretty cool photos on our ride...
