Mom/Son trip for 2020 and 2021 combined... look out Fredericksburg, here we come!

Well, I booked this trip for Spring Break of 2020 and Covid had other plans.


I moved THREE time and prayed this weekend would stick - AND IT DID!!


 We drove a long 5 hours to Fredericksburg, TX.  It's wine country but that's the last thing we had on our minds!


I swear - I found this out AFTER I booked the house!



look closer...


and I was only looking for this!


We only got in once for about 10 minutes... it was hot AND there were SO many bugs!

We headed to dinner. It was HOT and we both had on bad shoes... the mile walk to and from Tubby's (gross food BTW) was not worth it.  LOL

But then we say that we lived a few doors down from a jail. Very cool all the history in this German town!!





I told Tristan it was a "YES WEEKEND" and I would say yes to anything he asked (within reason) and he made the most of it!

I said "no" to something he asked for and he didn't miss a beat... he stopped and said "What mom?  I couldn't hear you?"

That face... ugh


So... it was changed to YES (of course)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday the shops and then headed to Luchenback, TX!


Christmas Store stunk but we had fun anyway...


He wanted no part in the kissing booth!


and the poor dude had a terrible headache... so after these pictures... we headed back home.


Thankfully the Tylenol kicked in and he felt good enough to head to dinner and the bat caves!!

There are 48 (I think) bat species and 32 of them are in Texas!! It was so cool to hear about the railroad too and why it was abandoned!


We were VERY early... so we hiked!


and I wanted to prove I was there!


It really was beautiful (for Texas)


Cool stuff on display!




It's hard to see but about 800,000 bats came out... it took them 15 minutes.  All female.  The males arrive soon.  There will be 3MILLION by the end of July. It's INSANE!!



So thankful for all we learned!  T was starving so 2nd trip to H-E-B in one day for some sushi, fed a feral cat and headed to bed!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up very early today to eat some German food and pack up and head to THE PRESERVE!
The Grand Finale!!

Bath Time for Rosie!



Then snuggle:30!

Hi Becky!!



I wanted to squeeze her and never let go!!





Tristan was in love!



Then we watched the pedicures take place... so cool!


tricks!  The do a ton of stretches and exercises... all 900,00 lbs!!!


and they sang happy birthday to me USING A HARMONICA and all the people sang!


and Kitty played soccer!


We bought some artwork so we could get hugs! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!

Shot with all 3!

Kitty, me, Rosie, T and Becky!


HUGS!


Thanks for buying MY artwork said Rosie!!


He was so happy!  And look at her!!


Hard for me to let go... we went last so I could have a minute...

Me and Becky!


And Becky's nose print!


I love her....


Time to head home!  *SIGH*

------------------------------------------------------------

It's not easy connecting as he gets older.  I'm dorky and do weird things in his eyes most of the time.  So I told him these trips would be annual ... and I will make the absolute most of my time  with him.

He loves animals like I do... loves anything that involves a ball like I do... but I can't assume... 

I always needs to ask, and LISTEN.... and sometimes just be present.

I love you Tristan... happy Mom/Son trip.  I hope they mean 1/100th to you of what they mean to me. It's worth EVERY penny that I save!!

Love you buddy!!  Mom

Day 7 and 8

Well, the first two pics are from a very hard Day 7 I sat here... and bawled.  Tristan and I had choice words about his eating. Well, not eating.  His snacking.  It didn't go well.  I'll leave it at that.  I sat here.  Bawling.  Crying out to God to save us. To heal our land.  I told Him all of the things I CANNOT do.  Well not in my own strength.  I told Him all of the places I NEED to move out of.  All of the insecurities I have. All the things I have fought SO hard for that I'm fearful He is asking me to just forget about. I'm scared of His "NO". I'm scared that I'm being corrected or chastised for all of the decisions I've made until now. That I've just messed it all up.  But then, I remember that I'm just not that powerful. God has shown up for me in so many ways, so many times, and I can't forget that. I can't be like all of God's people who wandered in the desert 40 years... and then in their freedom, they w...
