Our spring break has been pretty good so far. We had one day of gallivanting about when we went to pick up my car from a recall service in San Antonio, then went to BJ's Brewhouse for lunch, did a little shopping and then went to the Natural Bridge Caverns. We showed up there at the exact wrong time though, as everyone else came then too. We waited in a long line, but it moved pretty fast. I was glad we didn't go the safari part as the cars were lined up there even when we left (the cavern line had dwindled significantly at this point). After the caverns we drove on some backroads back to Fredericksburg and ended up eating at Alamo Springs Cafe for the first time (voted best burgers in TX). The burgers were yummy and huge and none of us could finish them! Then on the way back, we were lucky enough to stop at Tractor Supply the day the got chicks to sell. Colten has been wanting chickens for a long time and he and John have been working on getting a place set up to keep them. Since they were there and we would still have time to get their habitat in order, we went ahead and bought some. So now we have 8 red female chicks and 2 random black chicks, crazy! The kids love them though and have been having fun taking care of them. We will have lots of fresh eggs come August-ish if we manage to keep these all alive... put your orders in now :)
Other than that, Colten and John camped out in the yard one night and we've been working in the yard and garden. We are a little more optimistic about having a garden this year since it's been raining. Hopefully it keeps up!
Here are pics from all of our Spring Break shenanigans:

We still have some fun coming up with our Cub Scout Fishing Derby and Cookout on Sunday. Hopefully the weather holds out, but it looks like it'll be a nice day so far.
