Pre-Easter at Goliad

On Saturday, Leann invited us to Goliad to celebrate Easter with her family on their ranch. We had such a blast as it was a true Texas Easter with smoked bbq fajitas, a fishing contest and a pinata! We were pretty proud of our nephew, Landon, because he was the big winner of that fishing contest, too! Loved these photos of Landon "getting down" with his homey beads.

Risk to Picture Ratio

In Texas, it's blueblonnet season and tradition has it to take pics of kiddos plopped in the middle of them. Maggie and I decided that we would join that tradition, but didn't realize we would have to risk all of our lives to get them. Lady Bird Johnson many years ago wanted to beautify the highways and byways with wildflowers, so the flowers are by busy highways. As we found on the internet the best place to take pics was by an interstate and a quarry with a sign reading "warning: blasting in progress". We found a little better space to quickly snap some shots but had to push the kids in the car because an interesting man started coming toward us. This is one hilarious tradition.

Ski Week...Part 2

The second part of our vacation included date time with Paul and I. We took Elli to her first days of Keystone Daycare and I had a harder time with it then she did! She absolutely loved her new friend, Sebastian, and "snow time". Meanwhile, Paul and I got to enjoy mogul skiing and took a caterpillar a few times to the tippy top of the hill to catch some fresh powder. The one time we went up, it was complete white out conditions with snow, which was eery to me, but skiing down in it...I forgot that I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me...amazing. The economy has hit the ski resorts hard, but that meant no lines for us...fresh snow and no lines...once in a lifetime trip! On our day dates, Paul and I took many breaks because we discovered chocolate croissants at one of the warming houses. We really had one super duper trip and in one day we went from long underwear to shorts in Texas.
