Never too old for Spring Break

Last week we took a short road trip with our friends Ed and Susan Stock and John and Mary Anne Schmid up to the hill country for a few nights. We stayed in Wimberley at the High Point Manor Inn and explored the area around San Marcos, Gruene and Wimberley.
I wanted to bring home theses cute baby goats for the grandkids but was overruled.

My nemesis...... every morning the dozens of real roosters crowed from 3 a.m. until about noon. John and I were in the Rooster Pen Suite.

One day we drove over to the Mandola Winery and tasted a few wines and enjoyed the beautiful location. Patrick and Morgan met us after work to have dinner at the delicious Trattoria Lisina

On wednesday we spent the afternoon in Gruene and had dinner at the Gristmill. That night we enjoyed listening to a little local music from the Texas Renegades at historic Gruene Hall. Great fun and friendship!

GO AEROS!

Last saturday night we took Conner to the Houston Aeros game and had loads of fun! The games are very entertaining and the Aeros won in a very CLOSE game against the Chicago Wolves 3 to 1.
We were surprised when a really nice lady came through our section and gave some of the kids autographed pucks. Later she invited Conner to come down to the locker room area after the game and have his picture taken with the Aero #3, Paul Albers, who autographed his puck! At first Conner did not want to go because he thought he would have to walk on the ice. After we cleared that up he was good to go.
Thanks to Rev. Stephanie Linscott for this great experience!

bugs, slugs and grubs

Today was the NatureFest at Jesse Jones Park and so we walked around the park for a while with Conner. He took most of the photos today. He loves animals and photography. He and John fished and did a few games about animal tracks and prints. There were dragon lizards, blue tongued skinks, king snakes, pythons, puppies and even a possum named Jack!

Oh man!

We really miss our little men in Nashville. They are growing so fast and it is hard to be away from them. Lucky for us we will be together in California in April for the Scott family reunion.

Love was in the air this weekend

On Friday we went to Conner's friendship party at his school. Saturday Marlee, Mitch and Conner joined us at the house for a Valentine steak dinner. Marlee and Conner made the cake.
It
was
delicious!


On Sunday, we were invited to help celebrate Jonah's 2nd birthday. All the kids were ready to party! We watched Jonah open his gifts and everyone played on the trampoline. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Super Sunday !

We had a fun day today at Ed and Susan's for the Super Bowl and Susan's birthday. The kids had fun playing and we enjoyed the friendship, the great food and the exciting outcome. The 3D experience was slightly overrated...
