Spring Break

For Spring Break we went camping for three days to Goliad State Park.  We had a great time being with family, friends, and everything beautiful that nature has to offer.  Our major activities were kayaking on the San Antonio River, biking, playing games, taking pictures of red cardinals, and just being outdoors.  It was a true escape from the daily grind...

This is our car ready and full to the brim with anticipated fun:

Esther's Artwork

Esther's "Chicken" was chosen to be at an exhibit.  Her artwork and 24 others made it to this exhibit selected from 700 other students' artwork.  We are so proud of her!  I love her chicken-happy and colorful, just in the right places. After this exhibit her artwork has been hanging at the front of her school until the Houston Rodeo ends.  

She is so shy, still.  Esther would not stand in front of her painting by herself, so daddy needed to stand with her for courage.
