The past few days have been busy for our family.
Friday- We spent the morning buying flowers, soil, and galvanized tubs to plant flowers. It only took us about twenty minutes to drill the holes in the tubs and plant the flowers. The hard part is going to be keeping them alive. After planting our flowers we decided to start our garden. A few months ago we bought a raised garden kit and seeds. The garden kit and seed kit comes with everything (except for soil and weed blocker) to build the garden and plant the seeds. The seed kit even includes a planting template that shows where to plant everything and how deep to plant them. The seed kit includes everything for a "Salsa Garden" (tomatillos, red tomatos, cilantro, basil, parsley, jalapenos, serrano peppers, and onions), and a "Vegetable Garden" (more red tomatos, eggplant, yellow squash, bush beans, red bell pepper, yellow tomatos, zucchini, and cucumbers). I can't wait to make my first homemade salsa!!

Saturday- Kylie spent the night with YaYa Friday night so Joe and I could get up early to drive to Burnet, Texas for the Vanishing Texas River Cruise. It took us about 2 hours to drive to Burnet and the drive was great. We saw beautiful scenery. There was nothing but cliffs and trees along the road for about ten miles before we got to the cruise. The cruise is a two hour boat ride on Lake Buchanan and then the Colorado River. It was very relaxing. We were able to get the last two seats on the top of the boat and enjoyed more beautiful scenery. The cruise is a 24 mile cruise. For the last twenty minutes of the ride, Joe and I went to the observation deck at the front of the boat and enjoyed the breeze coming off the water. We forgot our camera, but were able to get a few pictures with our cellphones.
After the boat docked we headed into Marble Falls for lunch. Although our lunch wasn't the best we still had a good time just being together. We then decided to go to Austin to the Container Store. The drive from Marble Falls to Austin was beautiful. We saw more trees, cliffs, ranches, and huge homes in the hills of Marble Falls. The day was beautiful so we were able to drive with the sun roof and windows open. After finally getting to our destination (thanks to a few wrong turns...even though we had a GPS), we shopped around the Container Store. I would buy every kind of organization item in that store if I could! We then walked over to Whole Foods. I love this store!! I wish we had one here. We walked around just to see what kind of things they have. We ended up buying only one item...a single bottle of beer (an Irish one I think). Joe is going to enjoy it tonight after work. We made one more stop before heading home. We can't have a long car ride without a stop at Starbucks. After getting our favorite drinks we headed back to Waco to pick up our baby girl. We hadn't seen her in about 24 hours. That is the longest time I think we have ever been away from her. Even though we had a great time with just the two of us, we couldn't wait to see her. I don't think she missed us too much. She had a great time with YaYa. She got to follow Uncle RyRy around before he went to work, visit Drift (the "pup pup"), and go to a wedding with YaYa. We heard she was quite a hit at the wedding. She danced and clapped for the guitar players, ran around, and even had a cupcake before heading back to YaYa's.
Sunday- Just another day at work :(:(
