two fer tuesday (pt one below)

oh man, i thought u tube might kill me with this one. for some reason it took like two hours to upload and process this thing. ugh. i'm sittin here fallin asleep. and starvin too.
who wants to bring us dinner? :))

anyhow-- i dropped of the river cameras this morning--- i got a phone call about twenty minutes later--- not a single picture was salvageable .... she said all three were full of water inside. needless to say, i was crushed. on the bright side though----- i at least thought far enough ahead to not try to take my good real camera on the tube .. that would really be devastating. so-- as for the river pix? i have none. but i did snag a few from the internet-- just so yall could see what it was like. we didn't have the black tubes, we had the red and blue ones..they were comfier- and had bottoms in em. but boy-- when you dragged yer ass on those big ole rocks-- it hurt anyhow. i didn't hit as many the second time i went :)) but i did hit a few.

anyhow--- here ya go-- pix galore---
i had to take a few out-- and it still runs about 5 pix longer than the music-- sorry.

awww.. looks so fun! send me "picture" pictures of the ones of you all. Some of the good ones of soulkid were upside down.

Seaworld looks like I would have loved it:)
did that one seal have a tattoo?

Was the river that full of people when you tubed?
That beats the mall any day!!!

It IS always such a relief to get home ,isn't it.:)

Love me

Golden To Silver Val said...

Thanks for the pix....I just loved them all and the music too. Glad everyone had a good time!! Now you have to rest from your vacation! LOL

SOUL said...

smochaaaaaa---

it WAS fun! all of it-- but happy to be home..

i don't have prints-- but i do spose i'll be gettin some. i'll send some when i do.

they were upside down cuz i put em that way-- i didn't mean to do so many like that tho-- oops.

you would love sea world-- it's awesome-- but lots of walkin-- i don't suggest you go this time of year-- go when it's cooler. waaaay cooler.

that one seal was branded-- it was kinda sad lookin actually. not sure why. none of the other animals were. maybe he was rescued from somewhere-- there were two or three in that tank , branded like that. dunno.

i don't think there were that many people when we went, but there were a lot. when we went together it was a weekday-- so not many-- maybe fifty-- when i went by myself-- it was a sunday i think-- so lots more-- but still maybe not that many.
and hells yeah-- beats the mall. love the water--hate to shop-- pick a hand.. :))

i need food-- no groceries as usual-- soulkid is at a friends for the night--and you know i aint shoppin tonight-- might hit micky d's and go fishin in a while tho... :))

luv me

SOUL said...

glad you liked it charlotte!
and you know i'm still recovering with my lazy self. :))
hopefully by tomorrow i can get UP, and get to the store, and do stuff.. besides stare off into space.
aww, it's not that bad-- i did do a lot of catchin up this mornin, but i still have more to do.

hope your week is startin off good-

Smocha said...

I meant send me the digital pics. I can order them on snapfish.

I'm cooking some chilimac. sometimes I just crave me some trailer park food.:)

love me

SOUL said...

oh duh. otay. :))

chili mac eh?
we were just tryin to figure out what to scavenge up around here-- that sounds kinda good to me -- haven't had it in ages--
but, chili gives hubby heartburn, so he gets the left-over chinese from last night.
problem solved--

but no fishin tonight-- too hot.

maybe tomorrow.. but we ARE gonna go to lake fork one night before he goes back to work next week.

whatchoo been upto

luv me

Mary said...

Soul, this was an absoultely wonderful vacation! I teared up when I realized how much love there is in your little family. It's lovely.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Now I want to take the same vacation. I still haven't gotten the NC road trip together. Our time frame is just after Labor Day. (Harry's choice.)

I've watched the video two times and love the music but the pics are the wonderful part.

SOUL said...

hi mary-- glad you liked it-- :))

you could always change your plans and come to texas and go to sea world--and visit us :))
i could teach ya how to catch a big old bass :))

i'm gonna hopefully get caught up with you tomorrow--

i sure did get behind again..
:((

hope you're doin good--

Blur Ting said...

I love the video and the music! Thanks for giving us a tour of San Antonio. The shades you were trying on at the store looks great on ya. Did you buy it? The family photos are so sweet too :-)

Cheryl said...

What a great way to share your vacay with us! I bet I'd love Texas. I loved that pic of the crowded river. What a lot of tubes! And I loved seeing how happy you and Soulman look together.

Jamie said...

I loved every second of this! You all really did look happy, even the kid---and we all know kids that age are generally grumpy.

I know how long and hard it is to put one of these together, when I did the only one I will probably ever do, utube would not let me do an eight minuter...so I had to take it to another place and i don't think it was as good.

It is really too bad that all your pics were ruined. I guess you will have to remember the tubing adventures. Like Smocha, I want to know if it was that crowded when you went, if so---no wonder Soulkid got separated from you.

Hope you are feeling okay today - and resting up.

School starts in just a couple of weeks, good heavens, where did the summer go?

Happy Hump Day.

xo

:)

Summer said...

Was the roller coaster one of the old ones that give you a piece of twine or a little metal bar that lays on your lap as a restraint?

BTW...what's with kids sticking their tongues out when you take their picture? I've notice this on a lot of blogs lately.

desert dirt diva said...

great pics look like you all had such a good time.....

SOUL said...

holy crap peeps--

how did i miss all these comments? sorry. told ya i been sittin around starin off into space-- here's the proof.

now, as soon as i transfer said spacey self from my noise filled livin room to my not so noise filled bedroom... i will come back and talk to y'all....

i used to love loud music-- now it runs me into hibernation.... what gives? age is cruel.

SOUL said...

hiya blur--
it was kinda like bein there eh- with the play by play and then pix.. i shoulda just stayed home and had the virtual tour like y'all did :))

i didn't buy those shades there -- those are the "bat-shades" had em a while now- but glad you like em..
smocha hates it when i wear shades in photos :))

hope you're havin a good week so far-
ps:
your hen post was funny today-

SOUL said...

hey cheryl---
i bet you'd like it here too-- just about anything you'd want is here... beaches-- rivers-- lakes--- deserts-- trees-- nothing. name it-- we got it- and it's all bigger here than what you got :))

glad you like the pix-- you oughtta make a video of your last few trips-- i'd watch! :))

ps-- i thought you were goin solo-- you had the entire gang with ya-- what happened?

SOUL said...

JAMIE!
you were a typin fool this mornin--- no wonder you had a bad headache. :(( i hope it got better.

we did have a good time.. well.. obviously. only a few spazz attacks.. but nothing significant. i was really proud of the kid-- i know she must really struggled to not be a little brat. cuz she fell right back into that role here. :(( rough day today with her.
there's just bad energy in this house i think. is that possible? she said the same thing i been sayin about this house to you-- she said it to her dad today. only i blame the house-- or the design of it etc-- she blamed him-- and that didn't go over too well. so yep-- that real fun. notttttt.

(sushit just blew you a KISS btw haha)


aww c'mon have patience-- you gotta be patient-- sometimes it works faster than others. make another one -i liked yours. in fact i think i'll watch it again.. :))
have you tried vimeo?


"It is really too bad that all your pics were ruined. I guess you will have to remember the tubing adventures. "

don't make me laugh jamie-- you kknow how well my memory works-- like a week or so?? IF i'm lucky. oh the trauma.


""Like Smocha, I want to know if it was that crowded when you went, if so---no wonder Soulkid got separated from you.""

i aswered smocha above up there somewhere-- there were a lot of people-- and like i said -- my memory is clouded at best-- when it comes to details at least-- but my guess was maybe fifty the first time-- possibly twice that the second time. all i know was yes there were a lot of people-- just didn't seem so crammed together like that.

and yep-- i forgot to mention on here how soulkid kept goin and soulman had to go rescue her :)) at least she didn't get scared-- she still hasn't admitted she enjoyed it-- but i know she did! i bet she'd go tomorrow if there was somewhere to do it around here. i need to find out if there is.
daaaamn i loved it. it really was my favorite thing we did there.
hubbys fave was sea world.. and soulkid said she liked the drag ,shopping, and sea world.
so i guess she was pretty good all the way around.

{School starts in just a couple of weeks, good heavens, where did the summer go?}

goo-lawd i do not know-- but i am sooo more than ready to get my life back. or my routine i should say. it's been a fairly good summer-- a couple stumbling blocks i spose-- but overall.. it's been good.
i guess. i don't think i'll be trying to weigh it too thoroughly though . i'll just leave it at good :)) cuz it could always be worse. right.



Happy Hump Day to you teeewwwww.
was it?

ox

:)

3:32 -- you almost made it at 333
wth?? i see that number a lot lately. should i worry?
or buy a lotto ticket?

g'nite

SOUL said...

su-su-su=summah-
it wasn't that old--i dont think.
it had a buckle and a bar-- and i still almost broke my damn neck. gawd it was Stoopid of me to even attempt to ride that thing. my neck is still messed up from that thing.
i prolly really hurt somethin in there. ugh. will i ever learn.
can we say dumbass?
anyhow-- soulkid really enjoyed it-- and that was my plan-- but we both know it aint happenin again.
twine-- lol. that just would not have worked out too well-- i surely woulda died.

anyhow--
not sure about the tongue thing-- but the one of me and soulkid on the bench was supposed to be a re-enactment of the last one 7 years ago -- she had the whole tongue thing goin on-- and i wanted a then and now pic. but it didnt work out too well-- she gets embarrassed to easy now. but i like it anyhow.

welp--i'm gettin tired-- i'll BUI soon if i dont get his wrapped up-so i better go- will stop by tomorrow.

Raine said...

oh very very cool!!!!! (claps)

SOUL said...

:)) raine
soul takes a bow -
but it could be better-- i've thought of re-doing it--but i just don't have the patience.
