Sea World - San Antonio

We just got back from San Antonio where we spent 10 days visiting Burt while he is there at training. Our first full day we took advantage of Sea World allowing military and three family members in free.

side-by-side

So I ran across this picture on the left of when I was pregnant with John when I was 29 weeks, 4 days along. It would happen that this picture was taken when I was 29 weeks, 5 days pregnant. So I pulled out the same clothes and took a picture the next day to do an exact time comparision of the two.

I found out Wednesday, the 4th of July that our friends, really our family, Katy and Kara were on vacation with their dad in Gatlinburg from Germany. So I coordinated with Katy to meet them on Friday and surprise Kara, John, and Clara. They were so excited to see each other!!
