Friday we went to the Nimitz museum and walked Main street. The museum is amazing! (Grandpa and Grandmother Klatt would really enjoy it!) For breakfast we ate at a yummy bakery and for lunch we ate at a great burger place. We headed back to the ranch for dinner where Randy made fajitas - delicious! The kids played outside anytime we were at the ranch.
Saturday we hiked up Enchanted Rock - quite a hike and there was a beautiful view from the top. Randy carried Luke, Josh carried Shelby, Danielle carried Samuel, Max carried a stuffed animal, and I carried a very light backpack. :) Max did such a good job and had the most energy of us all! We had a little picnic at the bottom of the rock and that afternoon the kids were wiped out. We let them take naps while we drove around Fredericksburg to see some sights. Randy's grandfather came over for supper and spent some time talking about the history of the area and his time flying around the border areas of West Texas and Mexico. We really enjoyed hearing all his stories. Saturday evening we drove around the ranch in an old pickup. The cows know the sound of that pickup and they came running for their food. Shelby loved the cows running after us and mooing really loud. We also fed the horse and the goats and the fish.
Sunday we had a nice morning at the ranch eating cinnamon rolls and relaxing. Then we headed into San Antonio to eat lunch at Mamacita's and do some shopping. Mamacita's makes their own tortillas - so flippin' good! Everyone enjoyed their lunch. We went shopping at The Rim and had a great time. The kids slept in the van for 1 hour of that time, which was good because they were so tired! Sunday evening we ate leftovers and fed the fish again. Once the kids were in bed the adults stayed up and watched 127 Hours.
Monday morning we packed up and headed to Kerrville for groceries. Josh and Randy took the kids to a park so that Danielle and I could do the shopping quickly. It worked very well! Then we grabbed lunch and headed home.
It was such a fun weekend! The kids got along great and loved being at the ranch. I think Shelby's favorite things were: the cows, horses, goats; feeding the fish; and most of all - Mimi! I have pictures posted in Picasa: Fun in Fredericksburg!
Can you tell I am pregnant? I think I told you about all the food we ate at every meal. hahaha. :) We definitely over-ate this weekend. It was all so yummy! Friday will start my 2nd trimester and I am hoping this "yucky all day" feeling will go away.
Thanks Randy and Danielle for a great weekend! We'll have to do it again!
Sounds like a great trip and break away from routine. Guess I'll have to find some cows and horses to take Shelby to feed when she's in MN.:) All that food sounded wonderful since I'm on a diet! Love to you all.
