Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

After our fun in Dallas we weren't ready for our Texas fun to end.  So, we hugged our Dallas family and Ian (who had to go back to work) goodbye and headed down to Boerne to spend some quality time with Grandma and Grandpa.

On our way down we were lucky enough to meet up with my friend KC from high school and her lovely family.  It was great because we had never met her kids before.  It just goes to show that some friendships stand the test of time.  Our kids got along great, and it made me wish we lived closer.

When we got to Boerne and settled in at Grandma and Grandpa's beautiful house in the hills we had some time to relax and spend time together.  It was lovely.  We played with some of my favorite old toys, read stories, explored the great outdoors, and ate some great food.  We also visited the Boerne library where mom volunteers and ate some delicious Tex-Mex which is a must when you head down to San Antonio.  The boys loved their chips, and freshly-made tortillas, and of course, I loved everything, especially the margaritas.

On our last day we were lucky enough to get to see more family.  We were able to eat lunch with Papa and Marianne who live just down the road.  It's such a happy coincidence that my parents live so close to Ian's grandparents.  The boys had a great time seeing them, and it was so nice that we could all get together.

It was a great trip, and I'm so glad that we were able to spend the time with our family.  Evan said that he wanted to stay there for twenty and a hundred and ninety nine years.  We can't wait to see our family again at Christmas!
