The kids and I left Thursday for New Braunfels. Cindy Medema and her daughters Rachelle and Samantha were already there. We looked at the maps and decided to venture to Landa Park the following morning. The kids watched a movie together Thursday night. It was a great sleep over. Cindy and I stayed up late catching up and sharing what the Lord was doing in our lives. It seems we never get a chance to do that very often and so it I will cherish our time. Saturday we traveled the long route to Landa Park because we a little lost. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and building castles. Kara got her wish to go on a picnic and after lunch the kids play more on the equipment. Cindy had a women's ministry event on Saturday so they headed home. After they left (we wished they could have stayed), we went swimming in the outdoor heated pool. The kids loved the idea of swimming in the winter. It was a treat and I even swam! We watched TV together that evening. On Saturday, we ventured to Gruene pronounced green. Our favorite place was Buck's Pottery. Mommy loved it as much as the kids. The owner showed the kids how to make a bowl using the potter's wheel and gave them clay to play with. He made them whistles in the shape of birds. He was so kind to them. I loved his work because he made useful things. I got a berry bowl, a tortilla holder, and a pie bird used for baking pies. We toured the town. The kids other favorite stores sold fossils. We spent at least 11/2 hrs. in there. Christian got a shell shaped fossil and Ethan got a orthaceras. It was an awesome store. After shopping, we headed down to the riverside. There has been a major drought out west and the river was very low. We enjoyed our stay and are grateful to our friends for inviting us.
