San Antonio, Texas - June, 2003

We traveled to San Antonio, Texas for my brother's birthday party.
Since all the family was there, it was a reunion as well.

 

A new generation of the Pratt's are coming of age, seen here reacquainting themselves on their first day together, rather informaly in the hotel luggage cart. luggage_rack.jpg (1366557 bytes)

Little time was wasted in taking advantage of the key hotel amenity - the pool!. 

 

Even the "adults" wanted to join in the water fun (but mostly in the warm jacuzzi). jacuzzi1.jpg (34191 bytes)

The Pratt clan even ventured out to San Antonio's famous Riverwalk to sample the finest in Mexican cuisine
(the adults seen here are actually sampling local brews and margaritas prior to dinner).

 

Grabbin' chips

 

As evidenced here, the chips and salsa were in high demand!

Every good meal should be closely followed by a restful nap, no matter where you might be. Sleeping in Daddy's lap

Outdoor eating is always fun in the middle of a hot June, Texas-summer afternoon.  Please don't try this at home.

Brother Jim keeps Sydney entertained with his brand of humor.

 

Shopping is a must on any vacation (just ask the women).  Here Sarah and Robin display their newest soveniers, authentic Texas cowboy hats. Cowgirls

 

Indian and white woman

 

You can't mention cowboys (girls?) without mentioning Indians.  We spotted one here, seen attending my brother's party with his white woman, See-No-Evil.

band

Speaking of parties, here's the band that played.  And while I don't remember their name, "Motley Crew" came to mind (is that taken?).   They played a lot of 70's songs and they were great!

Every party has party crashers and this one was no exception.  Who are these people?
Dancing, while discouraged, broke out anyway.   Kids born at the turn of the century couldn't help but tap their little feet to music from the 1970's. Dancing

 

Kids on Couch

Finally, after becoming fed-up by the lack of seating arrangments at the party,
the children willingly went off to bed to let their parents party care-free.

 

Engaged

 

Every good story has a happy ending.  This one is no exception.  Upon their return that evening from San Antonio, my sister's boyfriend Scott asked her to marry him!

Congratulations (she said "yes")!

The End
