A Day in Boerne, TX

Today, Sunday, we decided to go into Boerne and just spend the day.  Larissa and Arianna were all for it. 

Our first stop was at the Snow cone booth.  Yummy!  It is a beautiful day out, nice and sunny and NO RAIN!

We walked all the shops and then some….

  

They are enjoying their treats!

Jac’s is Janet Lambe’s and My favorite store!   We always seem to find some stuff to buy there!  Now, it is also Arianna and Larissa’s store!  Love it!

After we walked all up one side of Main and down the other side of Main Street, we were ready for something to eat!  We drove to the Soda Pop and they had some great burgers and shakes!   We are watching the view from inside the burger joint. 

Boerne is such a nice little town….maybe not so little anymore as it is really growing!!

Had an awesome time with my two favorite little people, maybe not so little!!!

Lunch With Arianna

On Friday, I picked up Larissa and we headed to Wilderness Oak to have lunch with Arianna.  She had ordered What-a-Burger with a Chocolate Shake.  Lari and I ordered our lunch too and we also took Ms. Acosta, Arianna’s teacher a Chocolate Shake.  We had a great lunch with Arianna and her two friends. 

Love spending time with these girls!  Friday is the last day of school for Arianna and Larissa has been out for two weeks now.  Looking forward to a great summer with these two little ones….not so little anymore! 

Larissa’s Award Ceremony at TMI

We attended Lari’s end of school Ceremony.  She looked beautiful and so so so grown up!  Where has time gone?!

Lari is officially a 7th Grader.  Arianna still has a couple of weeks to go at school.

Lari is a member of the Corp and she truly enjoys ROTC.

  

This ceremony was for 6th, 7th, and 8th Grades. 

The Chapel was full of family and friends.  Very nice ceremony for the 8th Graders moving on to High School.

San Juan, Texas

We made a trip with Minnie & Rene Esquivel.  We have been friends for about 40 years.  We had some promises to pay after Rene’s heart surgery and of course praying for Manuel’s health.  This is the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle.  It is a National Shrine.   It is a beautiful and serene place.  We lite several candles and stayed for the evening mass.

 

  

After mass, we went and had an awesome dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  We had such an awesome time together.  We really enjoyed catching up on things.  After dinner, we went on to our hotel and visiting until almost midnight before we called it a night. 

The next morning, we had a full breakfast that the hotel was offering complimentary.  We then headed to visit a friend of The Esquivels.  This gentleman is a WWII Veteran who resides at the Veterans Nursing Home.  We enjoyed the visit with him.  Ended up that he grew up and knew some of Manuel’s Dad’s family..They have all passed away but he remembers them well.

On the way home, we were caught on terrible thunderstorms.  Some of the roads were flooded and were so glad to make it home safe.

A Day at Corina’s Lot

We spent a few hours at Corina’s lot before she sold it this week.  It is two acres and we enjoyed being at the old neighborhood.

 

Deep in thought!  Memories of the times he used to spend out here.

Time With Girls

We went out for some fun at Traders Village.  We had a great time!  We took a selfie on the way there.

The sun is really bright today!

The fun begins!

  

Lari and Manuel are on this ride!   NOT us!

  

Daddy and His Girls…

Arianna and her Big Hat!

They had some beautiful peacocks.

  

Then we were off to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner!  

  

Catching Up On Posts

I have not posted in a good while so will try to post some pictures.  It has not been too busy here so will do what I can remember..

We have sat out in the backyard and just watched the birds come for food & drinks.  We enjoy watching these birds. 

Red Birds and others….

Several blue birds.  They are pretty big birds but beautiful!

Manuel made this wagon many years ago….

This little hummingbird finally was given a chance to stop by for a drink!
