Outings

We made a rather last minute call and took the kids outta dodge for the Memorial Day weekend. We stayed in a little lodge/motel room at a Jellystone park in the hill country. The place has a couple of pools, a splash pad, a giant inflated pillow (half the size of a football field), and lots of activities for kids. Cori and I agreed that their was a definite trailer park feel there. We probably won't go again. But the kids loved it so much. We just unplugged and let them call the shots. They made some new friends, we found a local ward to attend on Sunday, and we did a little driving tour of the beautiful country up there. 

During the blue bonnet bloom, we spent a couple of Saturdays out in Brenham. We were AMAZED at the flowers. We drove through miles and miles of them. We took pictures (more to be posted later), visited some historic sites there and in Independence, and stopped in at the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory. Let me just throw this bit of goodness out into the world... Blue Bell makes an Italian Wedding Cake ice cream. It is life affirming. So is Jeffery's toothy smile.
