We picked Larissa and Arianna on Friday afternoon. They spent Friday night with us. Our plan is to visit Castroville, TX tomorrow.
As soon as they got home, they wanted to set up their tent (their indoor playhouse). We made smores and this is just so much fun for them.
Saturday morning was a pretty cool morning and we had rain all night.... set off to visit the Steinbach House which had been featured on TV this past week. This home belonged to some French.Alsatian immigrants who settled in Castroville.
This used to be the Chamber of Commerce office until not too long ago when they relocated. It is now a museum but we found it closed this Saturday.
We just took pictures outside the home but will make another trip someday to tour the inside of the home.
The Girls did not bring jackets so they are wearing my jackets....it is cool out!
They are both taking pictures with their ipads....they love taking pictures!
Next, we visited the St. Louis Catholic Church which was built in the 1800s. Our Son, Manuel Jr. and Veronica, were married here.
It is a beautiful church. I had told Lari and Ari that we would bring them here to see where their parents were married and today was the day.
Our walk up to the alter....the girls are snapping pictures all along.
Beautiful stain glass....
The alter....
The two side alters are so beautiful, too.
They are so good at taking pics. They want to show Mom and Dad.
Our walk back.
Arianna takes a picture of Grandpa lighting a candle. God is Good!
Arianna, Larissa and Grandpa pose for me....
We pose for Grandpa..... A beautiful crucifix as we exit the Church.
A historic building next to the church....
Several other historic buildings.....
The theater is now an antique shop....
The Keller home....the guy that lives here used to work with Manuel.
The Courthouse...
another saloon....
Another nice old church...
A lot of these old homes are now Bed & Breakfasts...
We are now ready for lunch and the girls selected Bush's Chicken.
Arianna decided to play beautician this past week and cut her own hair. She cut the back pretty straight and the bangs a little too short but it is straight!!
After our late lunch, we headed to the Alsatian Bakery.....mmmm good sweet bread here!
Oh they had such a hard time deciding what they wanted!
We had such a fun day with Larissa and Arianna. We went home and packed their things and drove to meet Manuel Jr. Until next time!
