Time Away

This past weekend, I headed to San Antonio to present at the International Reading Association Conference.  I presented at an all day conference on Friday and then again on Sunday before flying out.  After being away for a while, I was happy to be home.  But, man oh man, did I have a great time.  I went with three other friends from work, Brent, Jill and Betsy.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures.  

Mike Graves

Jim Baumann

The oldest bar on the Riverwalk, The Esquire.  Also the longest wood bar in Texas... 

Don't ask...  We had an AWESOME time on Saturday.

Uncle Si?

Our hotel, Homewood Suites, The Hilton.

Scott was Dad of the Year while I was gone.  Ireland was cutting five, yes, five teeth and he never complained.  She was a little fussy, but they made it out and about each day.  Saturday, they had a super busy day.  They headed to the mall, to a kids fair with fire trucks and a bounce house and had a cookout at our house.  The plan was to go to Mizzou's Black and Gold game, but Ireland was a little too tired and fussy.  Uncle Pooh and Aunt Meagan took Cohan and, from what I hear, he had an awesome time.  He even asked to get his picture with Truman the Tiger.  This is HUGE!!!
Here are some pictures I was sent...
