Easter, Grandma and Grandpa's Visit, Trip to Hill Country, Ennis Bluebonnets

We were excited to have some special visitors over our long Easter weekend! Since Grandma and Grandpa didn't make their Texas trip this winter, they decided to come after we wrapped up with OM workdays. The timing was great and the kids had a couple of days off for the holiday weekend, so we drove down to Hill Country. While we didn't get the bluebonnet display I was hoping for, it was still a great trip!







Loved how the brown eggs looked when colored!

Grandma and Grandpa arrived and went to check out Brad's office.
Then they got to hang out a bit on the patio and Lorelei loved the chance to chat.


We stopped in at The Silos. Yum!

They added a baseball field since we were there last, which Makin loved.




Oh those cupcakes!




Playing a game of Washers




Fun pano pic Lorelei took.

We were in love with our balcony at the condo.




These three fit in games during any spare time.
We had a cool rainy morning so we waited a bit to head out to check out the bluebonnets.

Ah beautiful Hill Country...in the fog.
Can you find the bluebonnets? ;) 






You aren't supposed to pick them!


Easter morning!




The boys golfed Sunday afternoon.


We girls had way too much fun. Grandma had the genius idea of renting a golf cart to just drive around the grounds...but we had no idea just how much ground we could actually cover!

A stop on the grounds with a view.

Don't let those relaxed-looking feet fool you.
This was not a relaxing jaunt.

She thought it was hilarious that her mother was worried she may die in a golf cart.


It was at this point Grandma and I decided we had better turn around...

The word steep is no exaggeration.

So thankful the sun came out. Just gorgeous!





Ennis was mostly on the way home, so we stopped hoping to catch some better bluebonnets, but I think we were still just too early in the season. The last time we went this field was completely covered.

These two. This is them crouching down into the bluebonnets.

Over 50 years of this guy and Grandma isn't phased a bit. ;) 







Thankful for the time away, some great views, and great memories!
