Rescuing the Fish

Yesterday, we visited Craig's Dad's house. This we a good visit! It was a little chilly so we kept coming in and out. On one of the out's, Grandpa came with us! That's great - it's means he's feeling well! He is on oxygen all the time and doesn't always have the breath to come out and visit.

So, the kids played on the playground and helped Grandma water the garden and played races around the garden and front yard. Lots and lots of fun!

The kids also received their presents from Grandma. This was our 1st visit since she went Christmas shopping. We were at their house the weekend before Christmas (and then everyone was sick almost continuously for 2 months).

And then, Grandpa asked if we had enough time to go rescue from fish from drowning. He didn't fool Z. He knew exactly what Grandpa was talking about.

And Z was the only one who caught anything. We was just standing there looking around and I told him to start pulling in his line and then it start to pull back and run away, so I helped him reel it in. Not bad for a little man!!

Texas History Tour - Texas Independence - Washington on the Brazos

Because of all the construction on I35, it was recommended to us to travel across Central TX and use I45 instead. So, on our trip down to San Antonio, we went north of College Station. We decided on the way home, to go south of BCS and stop at one last history spot - Washington on the Brazos, where Texas Independence was declared. (It's was also a nice distance from Goliad and a great stopping point for lunch) The original monument next to Independence Hall This state historic site also incorporates the etched windows. Probably because of all the trees, these etched windows are easier to see. We walked down the side streets of town and went down to the Brazos River. There were lots of pretty flowers and some wild grapes along the trail. Our first glimpse of the Brazos River Here's the area where traders along the river would land and bring their cargo/passengers. Pecan tree that was here during the Texas Revolution We enjoyed the break from ridi...

Texas History Tour - Spanish influence - Mission San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo

After a late lunch, we decided to visit the middle mission - San Jose y San Miguel de Aguayo . It was the largest mission and the one that is most well preserved, being designed a work area for the WPA in the 1930's. They have done a wonderful job of recreating ruins and painting original colors. There were also some architecture dig sites this summer. Unfortunately, being a Sunday, we didn't get to meet any of the student workers. We did however, get to visit with the park rangers, who had just recently returned to work and the park store was open as well. Mission San Jose was founded in 1720 along the San Antonio River. It came to be the largest mission on the area with roughly 300 Indians living on the grounds. "it's a giant turtle with a hole in the back" It's really an outdoor oven. It's a very pretty mission setting. We also saw several wells and cisterns and lots of arches, angles, and other geometric shapes. Love the c...

Weekly Journal - week 4

In my life this week... It's been a different sort of a week. The weather has been nice and so we've spent alot of time outside and with the windows open. It's also been a week of reprimands. Everything this week has set someone off - be it birthday parties, homeschooling, weight loss, diabetes, vacation plans, job choices and locations, attending worship services, or disciplining our children. What has been accomplished this week? The car is now in tip top shape again. Craig changed all the spark plugs several months ago and our check engine light kept coming back. Finally visited the dealer and they fixed it with a $2.00 part. I was very afraid it was going to be so much more. We also have 2 new tires on the the front. Now, just need that oil change and we'll be good to go for our next adventure! In our homeschool this week... This week has been a sort of Spring Break. With it being the 1st nice all week ...
