Matt saved up a few vacation weeks and since Jake is now walking (running), talking, and potty-trained, we took full advantage!
First was a good 'ol fashion road trip. Two other families tagged along as we headed to our favorite kid-friendly resort, The Westin in San Antonio.
With buddies in tow, our boys were entertained, which means mommy and daddy could relax a bit.
When the Texas heat really started beating down we took off for the "snowy mountains", as Jake so fondly calls them now. The Bryarly Family Trip to Lake Tahoe!

After our cooling-off trip, we headed to the Texas Gulf Coast for the Hughs Family Trip. The short ones agree: there are few things more fun than sand and cousins!





Our fun was interupted when Cousin William rolled his Jeep. We are SO blessed Mike and William are okay. Willie now has two giant scars as a reminder on how lucky they are.
