Inks Lake- Labor Day weekend...

We decided to get out of town for a couple days over the holiday weekend and really enjoyed some family time in the Hill Country...it is so peaceful when we visit that is truly a mini-vacation. You sit on the back porch at Gram's house, drinking your coffee, watching the deer come to feed as the hummingbirds fly all around. You can shop at all the little shops in Marble Falls and Burnet, visit Inks Lake State park and have some fun on the lake- all within 10 minutes of Gram or Dana's house. Next visit I would really LOVE to check out Longhorn Caverns. Oh, and on the way home..be sure to make a pit-stop at the famous Elgin Smokehouse for the best smoked pork steaks ever! Did I mention how much I love Texas?

Brian's aunt, Dana, lives in Marble Falls- their house is on the Llano River so when you walk down the slope in the backyard, it goes right to the river. Riley LOVED the river- standing in the water, you could see the fish swimming right by your feet! I LOVE these of my Roo bug.













My handsome hubby- a great pic with the grandparents! I have learned the way to get a great smile from brian is to catch him off guard and make him laugh when you snap the picture!



Blayke and Cole- these are the newest of the great grandchildren in the family- counting the 2 babies currently on the way, I think there are 13?!


These are the deer that come to feed in Brian's grandparents backyard- every morning and every night!



Enjoying the Jet ski...
