Wednesday morning we went into Fredericksburg to take a bull to the auction and had lunch at Charlie's Golf & Grill and played a round of mini golf. When we got home, we started working in the yard to get ready for Spring and Easter. We had the kids raking in the yard, but they weren't really motivated until I said that we'd pay them if they did a good job. Well that got their brains working and they figured that if they worked enough, they might be able to buy a new Wii game they've been pining for. Let me tell you, the rakes started moving! The next morning, they were so motivated, they woke up and were dressed before 6am. Of course I told them they were crazy - it was still dark! But they still got a lot done that morning and they even hauled the stuff they raked out of the yard! John & I were impressed (and of course we had to stop at Wal-Mart on our way home from church Sunday to get their game). We also worked on mulching, composting, and planting a few new plants Thursday & Friday morning. We haven't gotten our garden planted yet, but hope to get to that this week sometime.
Friday afternoon, we packed up the truck and the old camper and headed out to meet Mom & Dad for a night of camping out in Junction. The park we stayed at was along the river and very nice. The kids enjoyed making each other dizzy in the swings they had hanging from the pecan trees, riding their bikes, and playing with other kids in the park. We also tried fishing in the river there, but had no luck. Saturday we we tried fishing at South Llano River State Park, with no luck there either! Oh well. We did get a good hike in at the park and enjoyed watching the birds from the bird blinds they had set up along the trail. I was glad we were able to go!
Here's a bunch of pics from the week:
