Family Vacation: Friday

On Friday, Chad got up with the baby for his 6:30 feeding so that I could sleep in on my birthday! When I woke up, I found Clayton in his bouncer and Chad mowing the lawn - too cute! After packing for our weekend trip, Chad, Clayton and I loaded the car and headed for Fredericksburg. Once we arrived at our adorable cottage, we unpacked and checked out our wonderful room and surrounding wildlife. There are elk, longhorn, and white-tailed deer on the property.

Next we headed into town to find a place to eat. It was extremely busy with tourists and many restaurants wore closed for the 4th of July. To beat the heat, we ended up settling for Churches Chicken. We took our food back to the cottage to eat. Our plan was to head to the local Lady Bird Park for the fireworks but ended up hanging out at the cottage instead. Clay was asleep by 7:30, giving Chad and me a lot of time to hang out on the porch and play "Phase 10." It is a card game. I stomped Chad - he, he. I had a wonderful 29th birthday!!!

Chad let me sleep in on my birthday.
Happy Birthday, Mommy!
