Family Reunion '12- San Antonio, day 1

My Mom's side of the family planned a family reunion in San Antonio this past October. A family member got a good deal to share w/ the family on condos in San Antonio through their time share (not sure how that all worked but they were really nice condos & it was very inexpensive). We drove down in one day and got there in the evening.

There were some fun activities put together for everyone to enjoy together. The first day was the Natural Bridge Caverns, not far from the condos.

But before heading out, we all met up and took a group picture.

We had a lovely tour through the amazing caverns and got a nice morning workout to boot! The kids really enjoyed being in the cave and I have to say, it is pretty fascinating how so much is created over such a long period of time. Stalagmites, stalactites.... and all sorts of other things we learned about (& of course I can't remember).

All the younger kiddos taking a break on the bench (minus Lily). 

And a picture of everyone who walked through the caverns...

Afterward, we all hit the canopy tour they have set up on the same property as the cavern. Isabella & I went up on the ropes course (which was 4 stories high!!), I did the rappel, and Mike took Jackson on the low course. The weather couldn't have been better (overcast, cool, & breezy).

Isabella was quite nervous starting out on the obstacles... she needed some coaching. But she totally did it and she was really proud of herself (we all were too, of course!). 

Afterwards, several of us met up at a brewery and had a bite to eat for lunch. I tried my first ever Spirulina beer. :)

We then went back to the condos for naps/resting and later that evening had dinner at a Mexican restaurant that is well known in the area.

**Some of the above pictures were taken by members of my lovely family. Thankfully I have a lot of family members who are better at taking photos than I!
