Elevator Photos

Just visiting the Hospital Elevators...
This is the South Tower Elevators...
This picture for this picture is for going up until it says 4.
Here this is the Texas Insturments and the elevator buttons...
Anyway, this picture is upside down.
Oh, no! This elevator is for people who only has a staff! Oh, dear...we had to go the other way!
The sign says Staff Only! Public Elevators located on other side.
This is an elevator with arrows...
This elevator dosen't have a 2! What's wrong with this elevator? Last time we were going up to 3.
Well, I guess that was fun! We will visit this place again soon! BYE!

2 of a Kind!

It's almost Father's Day, every day Tayne sees it on the calendar and says, "Oh, it's almost Dad's Day!" but when I ask him what he plans to do for his dad he doesn't seem to have decided yet, but he assures me he wants to do something - a true procrastinator just like his dad so I've decided to surprise them both with a tribute to just how alike they are...

Tayne and his dad spend time together -
So did a young troy (dad) and his father (Grandpa Dan).
Check out that crazy smile -
Doesn't it look similar to this one???
He's just playing on the floor... (head down, hair flopping)
Now here's a young Troy (dad), check out the similar hairstyles - I guess he knows from exprience how long bangs should get before it's time for a cut! Listen to the voice of experience Tayne!
All this time we thought it was Tayne who wanted to stand on the giant rocks -
I guess he wasn't the first boy in the family to find it's fun to get your dad standing on small boulders with you...

See how easy Troy moves through the nets?

Years of practice stays with you I guess.
It's no secret Tayne loves the mascots at SeaWorld -
But who knew a young Troy (dad) loved meeting theme park mascots too?!
Total focus on a task?

You must get that from your father -

And how did Grandpa Dan know you were the right age to help with the gingerbread?
Looks like he's had a helper before...
Ok, so everyone loves Christmas -
But I included this shot because I liked the 2 picture tree (and he looks so happy!)

Troy took Tayne to ride a horse -

Because he loves to ride of course!
Ok, so this horse was more Tayne's speed -
A young Triy (dad) rode them too, check out his steed!
Birthdays are chocolate cake of course -

and blowing out candles with maximum force.

Here's one of Tayne ready to swim -
A young Troy (dad)'s in the middle - just look at him!
I'm tired of rhyming, so I think we are done -
No doubt these two are alike, I hope their Father's Day together is lots of fun!

Scoop and Slim visit SeaWorld San Antonio!

Tayne must be working under the premise, "What happens in San Antonio stays in San Antonio," because he's really been dragging his feet on writing a blog about his Mother's Day weekend trip to Seaworld with Grandma and Grandpa Pinkoski. But since he has graciously given me guest blogger/team member privileges I'll post some of the pictures he liked from the trip.
We went to McDonald's for lunch while we were waiting for Scoop and Slim to get into town.
Tayne tried the video games (and the basketball area, and the slides, and everything else) while Pallas and Grandma Dee headed over to try out the baby slide.
The Ramada Seaworld had a huge bed!
Tayne loved it so much he's now ready to do some traveling (and hotel staying) of his own.

Pallas was a happy handful as always.
Saturday we made it to Seaworld! (There's a hat on the Shamu because it's the 20th Anniversary of Seaworld San Antonio - I'd joke with Tayne that he should try to go there 20 times this year to celebrate, but I think he'd try to do it and I'm not sure we're up for it with gas prices like they are.)
I was really proud of this picture - whale under the water. And for once we were too late to find a seat in the splash zone - oh, too bad!
Here's grandma and Tayne walking to the Ferris Wheel.

Here they are riding the Ferris Wheel (which I have been informed, "It's not a Ferris Wheel, it's just a Pete's Pinwheel!")
Lazy river in the Lost Lagoon was a welcome break from the heat, but a bit rowdy with splashy visitors.
The Splash Attack was just as splashy as ever.
And everyone was wiped out by the end of the day.
Luckily we ended the day sunburn free, and Tayne had enough energy left to walk out to the car without resorting to hitching a ride in Pallas' stroller. I hope Scoop and Slim had as much fun at Seaworld as we finish -even though he didn't blog about it, Tayne tells us how much fun it was, and I know he was very happy that his other grandparents finally got to come along and share the fun at 1 of his favorite places.
