Back to Normal Life

We are back from our road trip. I know I keep saying it, but we just had the best time. I used to really dread a 4+ hour drive in the car with Lucy, but now it is totally fine and this time was even pretty fun. I generally hate road trips. I get very antsy and bored in the car. But we took back highways the entire trip to Fredericksburg and it made the trip quite enjoyable. Lucy watched movies and I took in all of the sights. We drove through a million tiny towns where you would have to slow down to about 30 mph, and we would roll down all of the windows and let the wind blow our hair all crazy. Lucy would hold onto her hair and laugh her little head off. It was really sweet and a special moment for us.

A few things that we witnessed on our trip home that I thought were worth sharing. We stopped at a Dairy Queen in a very small town. Apparently it was prom on Saturday night in this town, and we saw 3 prom couples come in for prom dinner at the local DQ. How funny is that? The guys were in tuxes and the girls were in HUGE, fancy prom dresses. I am talking about Texas country prom dresses - think lots of rhinestones, satin, and ruffles. At the same DQ, the local parameds had driven their ambulance in to grab a quick bite to eat. When they were finishing up their meal, one of their very loud walkie talkie things went off telling them their was an emergency. One of the men (who was massively overweight and trying to finish up his blizzard) said to the other paramed, "Let's just pretend like we didn't hear it." I know my jaw hit the ground. After a few minutes, the other one said that they better go ahead and check it out and they VERY leisurely cleaned up their mess and walked out to the ambulance. So, if I were you, I would not have a medical emergency in small town Texas. Can you believe that? I was seriously stunned.

Here are the last of my favorites from this weekend. You can see all of the pictures if you go to our Flickr account which is on the sidebar. Thanks for having us Liz!!! We miss you guys already.

Lucy checking out baby Reece. She absolutely loved the baby!!

The girls at another creek. Lucy could throw rocks in the water for hours. She does this hilarious little arm swing back and forth several times before she releases the rock. She did not have good aim and I had to keep a close eye on Taylor to make sure she didn't get nailed. A few times Lucy almost hit herself with the rocks because they ended up flying straight up in the air. Luckily, no one was injured in any of our adventures.


This is a door to an adorable chapel.
