Even the shy deer were right out in the open
It was hard to get pictures since I was holding 2 babies and Mycayla was trying to take them from the back. Here is a couple pictures of Everett having a blast and trying to climb out the window
The ostriches came right up the the car and started pecking the windows. I'm thankful that we were warned about them because they are HUGE
There were also signs that said that the zebras might bite, so we left the windows up just in case. They came right up to the windows and tried eating the car mirrors.
They are amazingly beautiful animals
After the driving part they had a little petting zoo place where you could pet the goats. There was a bunch of goats in there and some really cute babies. Britton was in love with the little baby goats. I took the bad of food in there and was attacked! It was funny to me but Emmett didn't appreciate very much, since I was holding him.

I highly recommend this place and we will definitely visit again the next time we go to San Antonio.
After spending the night in San Antonio we headed to Corpus Christi. Thankfully it's only 2 hours from San Antonio. Since there is so many of us in our family we had to get a suite with a kitchen and separate room and then an adjoining room onto that.
We had to rearrange some of the furniture, but we were able to get all three pack n plays into the room with us.

It was nice to have extra room for the babies to run around, and to also be able to have somewhere where they could go to sleep undistrubed (and I didn't have to hide in the bathroom)
Here is our little kitchen, but we had a good size fridge, microwave and big sink. Makes life soooo much easier when you have three babies
Mycayla was also happy that she had someplace that she could go to escape some of the craziness. She did have to share a bed with Britton, but that seemed to work pretty well.
I think the babies favorite part was the full length mirrors. They couldn't get enough of looking at themselves
The first night there we ate at a place called Snoopy's. It's right on the water.
After dinner we headed back to the base where they were having an end of summer bash. They had a bunch of inflatables and things for the bigger kids to do.

The next day we got up and hit the beach. I was a little concerned at first about the babies running around with all that water right there.
It was fun to see the kids' reaction to the ocean. Everett was right in there without any hesitation.
At first he wasn't sure when the waves came up
Emerson wasn't really sure about the waves either
Everett and Emerson
Emmett preferred to stay right on the edge
Emmett and Emerson decided that they did not like the waves, so they stayed out of the water and played in the sand

Everett on the other had wasn't scared at all and was in the water most of the time
The babies loved all the seagulls and would chase after them. Here is Everett pointing at the birds
Chris caught the beginnings of an Emerson tantrum on camera and it's so cute this way I had to share. It's so much better when you don't have to hear it.
Britton saw the ocean and couldn't wait to get in. He loved every second and it was so hard for us to get him out. Even when he was shivering and super cold he would fight us to stay in the water.
Britton and Kaydence LOVED chasing the seagulls as much as the babies did
They were all over the place
Britton got some lessons in boarding
Mycayla had a lot of fun in the ocean and spent a lot of time playing in the waves
Chris got a picture of a big flock of pelicans as they flew over Britton and I
We stopped by South Padre Island and there was a lot of big dark spots in the water. I got out to see what it was and it was thousands of little fish.
All the dark is fish
It was crazy to see all those little fish in one place
The kids had soooo much fun on the beach and Britton asks to go back all the time. The babies had so much to do and would just sit and dig in the sand. They hardly got crabby the whole day that we were there, which is pretty amazing.
That night we ate at a place called Blackbeard's. It wasn't as Pirate as I thought it would be, but it was good food.
The next day we went to the Texas State Aquarium and the USS Lexington.
It's amazing how big that ship is. It is not stroller friendly so Chris and Josh took Britton and Kaydence while the rest of us checked out the shops.

The Texas State Aquarium was really cool and the kids really enjoyed it. The dolphin show was really good and you could get really close
They had a show where a diver went in a fed the fish and Britton got his picture with the diver
We got a nice picture at the Aquarium. Mycayla's eye was really swollen that day for some reason and she didn't want to be in the picture.
That evening we headed back to the beach and let the kids play for a little while and then we made a fire and had smores
Everett thought he would help with the fire pit
Unfortunately, as soon as the sun went down the mosquitoes came out and even with bug spray we were getting bit. Britton had 50 bites on his poor ankles. Plus fire and babies don't really mix well. The babies thought fire would be fun to play with and they kept trying to run into it. We had a couple smores and then we packed up and were out of there for the night.
Our trip was wonderful, the kids were really good, but it wasn't long enough. We only had about 2 days and there is a lot of other things that I would have liked to see. Hopefully we will be able to visit again sometime soon. Maybe in the spring before it gets too hot.
