Happy Seventh Birthday!

Abby and Emma turned seven yesterday. No party…yet. That will happen on Saturday. We did go out for dinner at our local Mexican establishment.

On Thursday, they did open up some gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Petering. Notice something different about them in the photos below? Both of them have new glasses.

Camping Trip 2009 Photos

Last weekend, we returned to Garner State Park for an extended camping trip. But it was just us this time, the Dippels could not go. We reserved a site in a different area of the park. It was in an area called “Pecan Grove” - right up against the face of the hills and near the point where the Rio Frio is slowed by a dam.
Our weather was not as nice as last time. It was warmer, but it was cloudy most of the time and threatened to rain (and actually rained a little.) We had another close encounter with a skunk (walked right under Sheri as she was sitting in a chair). But if you ignore them, they will eventually walk away. Our first morning there, we climbed up unto the hills. Sheri and Emma went along this time. But we lost the trail. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones – other people we talked to had the same problem. I think that particular trail has lost some of its markings.

It was a good trip, and it was good to get away. Enjoy the photos below!
