RV road trip to Guadalupe State Park

Ben and Cash took the RV to Guadalupe State Park.  They like to go there as its really pretty and super close.  The plan was to spend the night but at the end of the day Cash decided he didn't want to so they ended up coming home.  E and I drove up to bring them dinner and spend some time with them.  The river is just beautiful and it was fun watching the kids play!

A gorgeous February day at the park

We took the kids and our neighbor Wyatt to McAllister Park to ride bikes and play at the park.  It was a really pretty day!  The boys rode their bikes along the trails while I took E to the playground to play.

I put her on a slide and it started out with her wanting me to go down with her, then me holding on to her as she went down, then just holding her hands as she went down, then getting her seated to go down...and then she was going down on her belly.  Once she gets comfortable she is all in!

A girls night "in"

To say I miss the girls I worked with at Carenet is somewhat of an understatement.  I miss them so much I have considered, on numerous occasions, going back to work.  I don't pass up a chance to get together with these amazing women....and Norma had a brilliant idea to honor our sweet Yvonne with a girls night "in".  Yvonne is always our party planner/get together planner and Norma thought it would be nice to do it for her and show her how much we appreciate all she does for us.

Norma, myself, Arianna, Monica and Kenifet started planning a great evening "in".....pizza, watching a movie and just some good girl time with these women I adore.  We were missing two of our "girls"....Cynthia and Audrey!!!!!  They were both dearly missed!!!!!!  Arianna put together the sweetest video of us girls....just a testament of our friendship and love for Yvonne.  We all climbed on my bed and watched and with not a dry eye left it was so much fun to look back at what was only a small caption of our memories together.  For me it has only been 6 years with these girls...with the rest its been even longer.  I feel blessed to have them in my life and realized that more so after leaving Carenet.

After watching the video we scoffed down our pizza and then headed upstairs to watch what was going to be Grease and then due to technical difficulty turned in to a scary movie...Annabelle!  YIKES!  While I would normally have been more scared these girls made it funny!  With the screams and comments we were laughing as much as we were gasping.

RV road trip to Fredericksburg

We decided to take a little RV road trip to Fredericksburg one Sunday afternoon.  Of course what we thought would be a fun excursion....ended up being exhausting because of a certain little girl we all know and love.  Every time I think for a moment she may be ready...I am quickly reminded she is not.  Oh well ...don't know unless you try.

The trip over was fine.  We parked the RV and headed into a German restaurant on Main St.  It was ok...not great and certainly not what we were hoping for.  Then we head to the ice cream shop and of course that made it all better!  I had a milk shake and Ben/the kiddos had a few scoops.

We walked a long Main St. a bit and then headed over to the park to let the kids play a bit.  We wanted to stay longer but it was much cooler in Fredericksburg than in SA and we didn't prepare for that.  So we headed home...and that is when I was reminded of how Miss E isn't ready for our family road trips.  She was tired, wouldn't lay down, and just wanted to be home.  We got home and it wasn't long before she was down for the count.  Until next time.....
