Texas trip #2 - March 2011

On March 11th we made another trek down south. This time we took my mom and sister, Connie. Had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed staying in some beautiful cabins in Fredericksburg with Jason's family.

Highlights of trip #2:

• Jordan-Bachman Pioneer Farm
• Texas Natural Science Museum - dinosaurs and fossils
• IKEA
• Babysat Jacob
• Japanese restaurant for Mom and Connie
• San Marcos shopping excursion
• Fredericksburg - met Jason's family and stayed in cabins; shopped in quaint shops; visited the WWII Pacific Museum; climbed the Enchanted Rock
• Picnicked in Luckenbach, TX
• Babysat Jacob
  
• Watched the bats come out from under bridge at dusk
• Babysat Jacob
  
• Duck boat tour of the city
  

Jason and Erin are always gracious hosts. They plan soooooo many interesting things to do during our stays.

We want to say a "BIG" thank you for all you did for us during our visit.

Almost forgot the best part of the trip - learned that we our going to be grandparents once again come October. :-)

Grandkids' Bedroom

Allison has been after us to finish fixing up the room in the basement that was our nephew's room when he stayed with us over 16 years ago. Dave finally conceded and now has finished sheet rocking the brick walls. He also dropped more wire so Jared can come and put in a light switch and additional electrical outlets. We left the ceiling black, but have 3 walls to paint. (I asked Makenna what color she wanted her room to be and she said purple). After the walls are painted we will lay padding and carpet the floor. Probably will add some twin beds down the road too.
Allison wanted to be surprised with the finished room, so I won't spoil it by telling how we decided to paint the room, except that Makenna helped today paint "her" wall purple.
