San Angelo- International Waterlily Collection and Fort Concho

5AA41042-C430-4115-BBC3-DB9AA0486633.jpegWe told the kids we were going to take them to see waterliles. All three of the older kids asked if they can jump on them. I blame Splash Village(an indoor water park near us with lily pads to jump across). We explained that these will be different. They are just to look at.

Now, I’m no nature expert but I can tell you this…they were very pretty to look at.

The hospital was cool to see. Here is the bathroom.

We noticed a tree that had fallen, but was still growing. We snapped some pictures.

Side note….we have figured out why Isla says the word “bubble” all the time. She is trying to say Brielle. She yells “bubble bubble” every time she sees Brielle. 🤣
