Celebrating warm days and birthdays

It was such a beautiful, warm day that when Marty finished the tasks he was working on this morning he came home, washed the bike and we went for a motorcycle ride. I am strictly a fair weather rider and have been waiting for a nice, warm day for a ride. Marty on the other hand has ridden his bike all winter long, except on extreme cold or rainy days. Then he takes my Suburban to work!

It turned out to be the perfect afternoon for a ride. While we were out and about we discovered many who had the same idea we had. There were motorcycles and convertibles with tops down everywhere we went. Meanwhile my family back in Missouri is still covered in ice and very cold. And yes, I rubbed it in how warm we are here...especially to my sister Lacey. :0)





You can just see green starting to peek through the brown here and there.






One of our stops was at Landa Park in New Braunfels. I took my mom here last summer for a day but Marty had never been.


















I've never seen a squirrel pose quite like this before. The poor guy was confused. Marty was on one side of the tree and I on the other. He danced around a bit before finally darting straight up the tree.






I was just playing with shutter speeds with the water rushing over the rocks.







We arrived home from our ride in time to celebrate our friend Denise's 35th birthday. Happy Birthday Denise!!!

Landa Park

Vacation has begun! My mom and my sister in law Lis arrived from Missouri Sunday afternoon. We are having a great time exploring south Texas! Monday we drove to Landa Park in New Braunfels. Monday night we went to the RiverWalk and the Alamo. Tuesday we drove to Fredericksburg. Today we explore Gruene and who knows what else! Following are pictures taken Monday in New Braunfels.


We stopped at Chick-Fil-A and these pretty pink flowers were blooming outside.




In Landa Park, we watched the ducks and geese,


enjoyed the many gorgeous views,


and rode the Landa Park Train (this is my mom on the back of the train).



Here we all are in front of the huge "Founders Oak" in the middle of the park. It's a huge live oak tree.



I love this gazebo. Think I can talk my husband into building one??!!!





We hiked a short trail along the water and found these flowers blooming here and there.
We had a great time but were so tired at the day's end!!! Keep checking back as I find time to post what we've been up to this week.
