Spring Break 2014

Our Spring Break started a day later than planned because I was feeling under the weather, so instead of traveling to Goldthwaite Sunday we met Grandma, Grandpa and Blaine in Abilene Monday to drop Jacen off.  They spent the rest of Monday going to the Abilene Zoo and playing at the playground next to the zoo and had a blast.  They spent the day playing in Goldthwaite Tuesday.  While they were having a blast, Kyle and I had a relaxing few days in Fredericksburg.  We spent most of our time at the same cabin we stayed at for our honeymoon relaxing, watching the wildlife, feeding the fish and turtles. (Bed and Breakfast on Knopp School Road).  It was wonderful to get away from the real world for a few days.

Wednesday for lunch we met Grandma, Grandpa, Blaine and Jacen at Mamacita's in Fredericksburg for lunch.  The kind tortilla man shaped tortilla dough into a frog and alligator for the boys and gave them dough to play with :)

After lunch, Wednesday we traveled to Medina to see Kyle's grandparents.

After dinner Wednesday evening, Kyle, Jacen and I rode around Kyle's grandparents place enjoying being outside and the pretty scenery.

Thursday we spent the day back up at the company.

Jacen took this pic of the river :)

Water pics :)

Getting our feet wet pics.  We actually crossed the river twice and walked through the river for a while.  I didn't take any pics during that time.  I was more concerned about us not dropping our phones or ourselves in the river!!!

About to splash Daddy with water :)

Enjoying more time by the river!

Cactus on our walk back :)

Right before we left for the evening, Jacen got really brave and wanted to explore by himself!!

I loved the facial expressions!!!

On Friday, I asked Kyle to travel back through CampWood (out of the way) on our way home.  I hadn't seen my Grandma and Grandpa's grave in a while.    

Also, I hadn't been able to go to my MawMaw's funeral in February, so I wanted to at least stop by. Pic of my PawPaw's stone that passed the May after Nathan passed in March of 2011.

This pic is of my Dad's parents.  I never met his Dad, he died before I was born.  The other side is my MawMaw Joyce.  The date of her passing isn't even engraved yet.  It gave me some peace to say bye.  My husband is a wonderful person to let me have the closure that I need.

After resting up on Saturday, we went to church Sunday followed by a last minute movie trip to end our Spring Break.  We had a great time watching the Muppets with the Tungates!!!
