Being Spontaneous!

This past Saturday we finally had a weekend where we didn't have anything to do. We ended up finding ourselves completely stumped on how to spend our Saturday. While Aspen was taking her morning nap Jason and I came up with different ideas. Hamilton Pool--called, but they were already at full capacity; Ice Cream Festival--it was way to hot, even if ice cream was involved (plus that's not helping anyone's waistline); drive back to Lost Pines resort and sneak into the pool area--that's kind of weird??

So instead we decided to be spontaneous and drive down to San Antonio to visit Jason's parents for lunch. They were staying at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort for a conference. We looked up the schedule of the conference and saw that there was a break during the afternoon labeled "Family Time"--so we decided to give them some family to hang out with.

It didn't take long to throw together a quick bag and hit the road. Now that Aspen is older it has become a lot easier to do things like this--it was a lot of fun!

Aspen burning off some energy before we hit the road.



And we're off...



I think Jason's parents were really surprised. We went looking for them over in the conference area and turned the corner and there was Jason's mom. She had to do a double take at first. Even though they weren't expecting us, I think they really enjoyed the surprise.



We went and ate lunch with them and then changed into our bathing suits and took a swim in the pool. I have to say the pool area was really nice because it was almost all in the shade. It made it a lot more enjoyable not worrying about Aspen burning or myself.



After the swim we changed and got ready to head back. Aspen was nearly falling asleep on her Papa's shoulder while walking back to the car. As soon as the A/C started blowing she was out the whole ride home. Thanks for spending the afternoon with us Papa and Nanny!
