Back to School Vacation

Off to San Antonio for our last hoorah before school starts.










Adiah loves to go to the Alamo. This is probably the 6 or 7Th time she's been there. Occasionally, on Saturday's they have exhibits outside to show the weapons etc. that were used at that time. The people working the tables wear period clothes and she gets excited about this every time.


My future history buff

We had a great time at our hotel.








Ava loved the pina coladas.




We ate at Chunky's-famous from Man vs. Food. It was so good. Normally I couldn't care less about where we eat or what we eat but this was good. I will definitely want to go back. Jason said his burger (jalapenos and a slab of cream cheese) was the best burger he has ever had. This is a San Antonio must.





My beautiful family.We got to roast marshmallows and eat smores at the hotel. The girls loved this.So did I. Yum
This was a great ending to a wonderful summer.

Girls Weekend

Fun girl's weekend in Fredericksburg, TX. Yehaw!!!



Friends Forever!!!



Our beautiful B&B. Thanks Vic! We are so grateful for your kindness.





And the same picture again. Sorry, don't know how to delete pics once I add them to the blog.




Beautiful Jane. Love the red highlights!






Goofin' around







We laughed so much. This was just the first five minutes.







Jane posing at the restaurant we ate dinner at the first night. Can't remember the name. Something Cantina, I think. :) It was sooooooooooo good. Great atmosphere too.



Main Street at night.



The stores closed way too early so we went window shopping and this is what we found. Eeek! Creepy baby




And this is what our world is coming to. Sad I know. This is a little boys size shirt with Farrah Faucet posing on it. This store had a lot of these. I'm sure this would make any mother proud.





And this is Satan.



This is us before we tackled Enchanted Rock.


We are Oh, so confident. No problem. It's not that high. Right?









And we headed off onto our own path. Path? What path? We were not on a path. We decided that the main trail was just too easy for us. We decided to climb up snake infested cactus filled rocks that were almost too hot to sit on. And, we decided to do this at noon. Wonderful!




I think I was the only one having any problems by this point. I had a backpack on with 8 bottles of water in it. That backpack ended up almost breaking three of us.





Yeah, we were having fun!






And now Alesha is picking cactus prickles out of her leg.





And Jennifer is picking them out of her fingers.










And Jane is picking them out of her arm. This is the same arm that is already bruised and scratched from an incident with, we think a fox, during an unfortunate bathroom break on the way to Fredericksburg.



We finally made it to the top after thinking we were there about three times before we actually reached the peak. Aren't we a sight for sore eyes? Ha Notice that Alesha doesn't even look sweaty. She never carried the backpack. Look at the other three of us. I think the backpack almost had us. We ended up leaving it a ways down the rock. If we had taken it one of us would have been lost I just know it.

Headed down.

Somebody please tell me how Jane's band aids made it from the inside of her socks to the outside during our hike. Look closely. I laughed so hard.

Ok, let me explain. We had the majority of the house but two other couples had the other part. This is a locked and screened door that separated us from each other. We assume that this was their living room. The night before we had stayed up very late in our living room laughing and talking until we heard a very loud bang on the wall. So of course we knew that we had upset our house mates. Ooops. This is not the first time that this has happened to us so I don't know why we were surprised. Anyway, like I said, this is the next morning when they were talking about us and mocking our laughing etc. We just wanted to hear what they had to say about us. Ha.


Jane was so excited to get her German potato salad and Alesha was excited to get her peach cobbler. Yum! We ate very well that weekend. I'll pass on the German food though. Yuck!




Jane shopped until her shoe broke.


This was probably the best visit that we have had in many years. I love you girls and I am so glad that you are my life long friends.
