Morgan’s Wonderland

We spend a day at Morgan’s Wonderland.  Arianna had been here on a school trip and wanted to go back so we did.  This park is a father’s inspiration for his little daughter.  This San Antonio Home Builder had this park built for people with special needs.  This has been a very popular park for people of all ages and needs.  The “Taking Flight” statue is beautiful and it is huge. 

  

A little about Morgan….

These are markings of visitors from all of the United States and also other countries.

Beautiful artwork through out the park….

We decided to ride the train to get an idea of the different areas of the park.  We were the first ones at the park and the first ones and the only ones on the train.

Morgan’s Wonderland is right next to the Toyota Field.  This is where the San Antonio Scorpions Soccer Team plays.

  

On to the next area. Even though it was early, it was very hot out. 

Fun at the playground…

More fun at the remote control pirate ships….

We found Pickles here.  Pickles was a parrot that Lari and Arianna had when they were very young.  One day, Pickles flew the coop and we had been looking for him ever since.  We even took Pickles on a camping trip with us one time. 

The girls pose with a poster of Morgan….

  

The jeep ride was fun.  Lari is a really good driver!  Watch out Mom & Dad, she will soon be ready for a car!

Arianna was a good driver, too but she was a little distracted with Grandpa & camera!!

The carousel rides were neat.  We rode about 4 times on different animals….

The Butterfly was walking around and the girls pose with her. 

 

And they dance with the Butterfly!!!

 

Arianna is part monkey, I think.

On to the Water Works….  Time to cool of, Grandma accidently splashes them…

On to Fishing!   The fish ate the bait as soon as the line was dropped in the water!  No catch today!

 

Last thing we did was play in the sand.  

    

On the way out of the park, we take one more picture by the statue.  We have had such a great time here. 

Arianna rushes off to the car with Grandpa and I take a picture of Lari at the exit. 

She is ready to get out of the heat!  On home to take a bath!!!

My 64th

Saturday, the 21st was my birthday.  We celebrated with Family on Sunday after church.  We enjoyed an early dinner.  It was all delicious.  I am so Blessed to have such an awesome Family!

Thank you for a delicious dinner and gifts.  Love you all. 

Time at Rally in Ingram, TX

Since Manuel was feeling a little better, we decided to join our Demontrond Travelers and WWW Friends in Ingram, TX.    We left on Wednesday and had a good 90 mile trip. I drove in the SUV as he drove the coach.

We love the Hill Country and thought it would be a nice get a way for a week and it was close to home.

We arrived at about noon and there were several coaches there that had arrived since Sunday.  Many more are expected to arrive.

Mary and Jesse brought me this cactus cutting from their home.  They brought several cuttings for those that wanted them.  It bloomed three flowers while we were in Ingram.  Beautiful flower!!!

One of the days, we went out the the Guadalupe River.  Karen and Carly had so much fun jumping for the trees and rope.

Here go the bag ladies.  Heading under the bridge!!!

There are a bunch more bag ladies under the bridge!  All are Demontrond Travelers!!!!!  Alan enjoyed the river swim with Karen and Carly…..

Back at Johnson Creek RV Resort for more fun!!!!

By Friday, Manuel started feeling really bad and contacted Corina, our daughter, who contacted his GI Dr.  The following day, he was able to get the antibiotics prescribed and he began to feel better almost immediately.  Thank God.  He was able to enjoy the rest of our time at the rally.  He sure worries me when he can’t eat and is hurting so much. 

When we got home, he had a GI appointment and the plan now is to keep him on maintenance antibiotics.  Sure this helps his problem. 

Lari’s 5th Grade Ceremony

Today, June 5th, was the last day of school and Lari’s last day at Wilderness Oak Elementary School.  We attended the ceremony and it was awesome!  We are so proud of Larissa and Arianna.  We were not able to see Arianna today.  She is also very excited today is the last day of school.  Arianna will go into the 2nd grade!!

“Like a Butterfly, I am growing and changing, finding my true colors, and spreading my wings to fly.”

There were 5 classes of 5th Graders today.  This is a very large group of children.  When they all got situated, I could see Lari looking all around to see if she could spot her family. 

There!  She found us and gave us a big smile!!

She is very attentive as the ceremony has begun.

The Principal and Teachers gave very moving speeches as they see these students move on to the next level. 

Each of the classes had a student representative that spoke at this ceremony.  Lari spoke for her class.  Each child had their own thoughts of the past six years (Kindergarten to 5th).  We were so impressed with each of the Speakers but when Lari began her speech, we were truly touched.  She did a wonderful job and was so self confident.  We are so proud of her.  Great Job, Lari!  Congratulations, Mamacita!

Her Teacher, Mrs. Portlock, stands with her as she prepares to present her speech. 

She is presented her certificate and metal by the Principal, Mrs. FitzSimon.

Our Little Sixth Grader!   Reach for the Sky!

Lari and her Friends enjoy the reception goodies. 

Congratulations to all.  Enjoy the Summer!
