Christmas in San Antonio

Ok, big post! This Christmas was a very different year for the Hanna-Bosse-Wims family as anyone could guess. We typically rotate through houses every year, but this year, everyone agreed we needed something different and very "un-normal". While we all knew that Brad's absence would be felt no matter where we were, at least being somewhere new and somewhat unfamiliar would offer some distraction, and more of an opportunity to focus on each other. So, we chose San Antonio! We stayed at the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch, which I would recommend to anyone for a affordable, fun, great place to vacation--rooms are awesome, facilities are great, lots of recreational things on site, and right across from Sea World! The resort has a big indoor swimming pool and slide, and an outdoor pool, slide, and lazy river. Some of the kids (and even Jenny!) braved the 40 degree weather to swim in the outside pool..irregardless of heated water--that's just plain silly! Several of us went to Sea World the first day, and that was fun seeing everything "in the Season". We also enjoyed the River Walk. And, best of all, Santa was able to find us there! In my humble opinion, it was a wonderful time, spent just as Brad would have wished for us--having fun and enjoying each other's company at this special time of year. We miss you Brad, but thank you for always showing us the importance of family!
