Mommio: Grandma and Grandpa Visit

Well...an entire week has passed and we didn't touch the blog- I guess we had so much fun with G & G that we were all too worn out.  So here are some of the highlights from the rest of their visit.  
We did a lot more pool swimming.  Boy, we wish we could just go to the La Quinta pool whenever we want!



We showed G & G how we do our World Geography Unit one afternoon with an introduction to 
mapping the Middle East.
 We had a really fun all day outing at Hemisfair Park in San Antonio.  First we went up in the Tower of The Americas where Connor and Grandma did a great job dealing with their fear of heights!  



 At the base of the tower we watched a 4D movie about Texas.  It was good, but it really scared Jack when the rattlesnake jumped out at us. 

Then we went for a walk in the sweltering heat over to the playground, along the way we found a letterbox and took a small break in one of the fountains.


 It was too hot to sit outside so we wandered over to the Institute of Mexican Culture which turned out to be a nice art museum that we all enjoyed.

 After that- some snow cones while waiting for a play to start.
Then we went to the Magik Childrens Theatre to watch their production of The Jungle Book.  It was great!

 It was a  long, exciting day and then we had another one on Sunday.  It was time for another Jones Family Art Show and some swimming at the lake.  Here are a few pictures but I will post more about the art show later.


Thanks for a great week Grandma and Grandpa!
