recent adventures

Here are a few pictures from some of our recent happenings around San Antonio. First are 2 sewing projects that I completed. A little texure blanket for Rhone. It actually does keep him entertained for a while. The other day I got out of the shower to see him wearing it like a bracelet. The other sewing project is burp clothes for baby gifts.


We also attended the Poteet Strawberry festival. We were imaginging a fun arts and craft festival, which wasn't exactly what it was, but it sure was an experience and we're glad we didn't miss out on the rodeo, strawberry shortcake and icecream. It was so hot that day that little Rhone hardly played, he just sat in his stroller slathered in sunscreen.

Rhone at the live concert. He slept through most of it, thanks to his handy-dandy ear plugs. The artist was Mark Chesnutt- think classic country songs like Bubba Shot the Juke Box and My old flames have new names. It's the kind of music you would expect to find in Texas.

Right now it is Fiesta in San Antonio so there are paradaes and events going on for 2 weeks. Fort Sam Houston had a Fiesta and Fireworks event. We got there with perfect timing we walked around and saw some of the displays and then got some kettle corn for the fireworks. We decided to watch them from the truck so that we could get out of traffic faster. It worked out perfect because it got us even closer to the firewroks and we hardly hit any traffict leaving the post. Rhone even watched some of them.
