Still Best Friends with Bungy Dawg


San Antonio Botanical Garden



A couple of weekends ago, we went to a wedding at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. It was beautiful and magical in so many ways.

We reconnected with friends from Germany that we hadn't seen since we were there in 2007 for Andre and Crystal's wedding. The awesome thing was that we all picked up right where we left off. No one would have ever guessed that it had been 3 years since we had seen each other. I look forward to our next reunion which will hopefully be this fall when Reagan and I return for a much needed vacation.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Garner State Park


The first weekend of May, we had a family camping trip with Chupps and the Kims in Garner State Park. Unlike last year, when the same people went excluding Bungy and myself, this time it was not 100+ degrees with little to no water flowing in the Frio River. This time it was actually overcast which made it too cold to swim. What? Didn't you know the word 'frio' means cold?

Despite not having too much to do, we all managed to have quality family time together sleeping under the stars in our tents on super rocky terrain with an actual bathroom 100 yards away and a shed with a roof and doors where we kept our food and which also had running water and electricity so that we could hook up our electronic dart board to pass the time at night and if we discovered we had forgotten anything there was a park store a short walk away which came in handy when I discovered I forgot diapers. Who said camping had to be rough?

In preparation for the trip, I bought stuff I thought my niece, nephew and Melita would enjoy playing with. Little did I know that the $2 hot pink float would be the hit of the weekend.
