Rodriguez County Park in San Antonio Texas #SA2020Resolutions

This year I have resolved to go to as many parks as I can with my family as part of my #SA2020Resolutions. A huge thanks to Colleen from San Antonio Moms Blog for introducing me to this initiative from SA2020 to resolve to visit at least 20 parks in San Antonio. 

Dont worry that its already May because guess what? Im a little late in posting but I have been out and about in a couple of parks with my munchkin so now im doing the catch up game here. 

So here it goes...

Our very first Comic Con {Wizard World San Antonio Comic Con 2014}

This past weekend we had our very first Comic Con experience! I honestly didn't know what to expect. None of our close friends or family had ever been to one so we didn't have tips or recommendations from experience to go on. I was nonetheless excited and couldn't wait to check it out! 

So what I did was look at the schedule online and plan out our 3 days. See what panels were going on and if there were contests/giveaways. What apps to use and hash tags to follow the fun and even planned our food/snack times. Major bonus was that you could go in and out at any time with a wrist band. Plus food was allowed to be brought into the area so we could bring snacks from home and save money. {Can you tell Im a big planner?}

The nicest meddling kids {Mystery incorporated}The Scooby gang which we all love! 

Blade and Superman teaming up? 

James Marsters was so funny! He talked about the various shows he was a part of and answered questions from fans. He was asked some very personal questions about his time on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and answered them like a pro. When asked about kissing cast mates he said it wasn't kissing, it was very technical acting. And that if someone wanted to know how Sarah kissed then they should ask Freddie. He was just as sweet as I thought he would be. {Swoon}

After his panel we took a walk around as we waited for the Jason David frank panel to begin. We spotted some fun people!  

My kiddo was giggling as he took a picture with this sweet lady who shared with us how she made her costume and her sidekicks. How it was so much fun and we could tell because she was so proud of it! 

Overall we had a great weekend together as a family. It was a perfect first Comic con! 

Cooling off this Summer at Splashtown San Antonio #SplashtownSA

Disclosure: My family was provided with free tickets to Splashtown San Antonio for review purposes. No other compensation was received. All thoughts, opinions and pictures are all my own. 

Summer has already started with its harsh sun and high temperatures here in San Antonio. With a little one at home off for summer vacation I need places to go that are fun for kids and family friendly but most importantly a great place to cool off and Splashtown has it all. 

I will be honest and say I cant believe I have never been here before! I was under the impression that it was all water slides and mostly for teens and older so I was nervous about going. What if there was nothing fun for my kiddo to do?

We get here and from a distance all you see is high water slides and I get worried. But as soon as we get closer and step inside I see water fun everywhere! 

This guy right here is Tube Tyler! Hes going to be your friend today since he is everywhere and will be important for picking out what areas are best for your family. 

As you can see from the map there is plenty to do! With over 50 rides and attractions you'll have a hard time being bored. 

A major positive I saw as we got close to the kids water area was life vests! Bunches of them in various sizes on racks around every corner. Perfect to keep your little ones safe.

When my kiddo saw Kids kove he was so excited he ran right in! 

Just look at this beautiful sight! Water fun everywhere!

As you step into Crystal falls the water starts getting deeper and the slides start getting taller! 

 While you are there at crystal falls be sure to stop and have a fun game of water basketball. A little too deep for my kiddo but definitely fun! 

Around the corner there are plenty of picnic tables and covered areas and seats plus snacks! Actually there is plenty of seating areas everywhere you look and all with good cover from the sun. 

 I was surprised to find that they have a basketball court outside plus a sand volleyball court.

But dont worry because they also have a water volleyball court which comes in handy during this heat!

 Check out all the water tubes for the fun rides! They even had pool noodles which all come in handy when you are floating down the Siesta Del Rio!

 It was my sons first time getting into a tube and he did awesome! So awesome we decided to try our luck out at the wave pool and there we had a blast!  

The waves were super strong and fun! The splashes were hilarious and extra fun on a tube. 

I cant wait to go back to check out a Dine in Movie! Coming up this month of July is Iron man, The amazing Spiderman, Thor, Teen beach movie and to start off August is The Lego movie! 

While I could post tons more photos {Trust me my water camera is full of them} you really just have to come over and check it out on your own. There is a ton of tall and wacky water slides plus more fun for all ages. I like that it has everyone covered from little to big.

Be sure to check them out for Birthday party packages, day care days, youth days, and they can even accommodate corporate group events. So there are many possibilities for fun!

Hope you are having an awesome summer and keeping cool! Have you checked out Splashtown before?
