Can you believe it is 2013!!!
Roger, Bear, Abby and I completed our first week in Kerrville, which is in the heart of the hill country of Texas. Avid Blog readers will remember my posts from this area last year. We really enjoy being at Buckhorn Lake Resort which is located immediately off of I-10. This is one of our favorite RV parks.
Many of you may remember that the hill country was home to Lyndon Baines Johnson (think the western White House ranch, Perdenales River and barbecues), Austin Stone (the white limestone that almost everything is made of), lots of goat farms as well as cattle ranches and vineyards. It is a beautiful area in Texas with the hills that give it it's name.
Having Abby with us has been a dream come true. The week has flown by. Bear adores her as much as Grandad and I do. She has such a bright, bubbly personality and is pure joy to be around.
Bear gets dressed up a lot and is very patient with Abby.
On Wednesday we drove 30 miles to Fredericksburg. This area was settled by Germans in the 1800's.
Abby tried out her skills on the mechanical horse. Unfortunately, after we put the money in, nothing happened. Oh well!
Abby posed in front of the wishing well in one of the stores.
It is so much fun to see the sights through the eyes of our granddaughter where everything is magical.
The Christmas decorations are among the best that we have seen. Abby and Bear are standing in front of the town Christmas tree.
The town pyramid has detailed wooden characters as beautifully crafted as any we have seen in Germany.
The gingerbread park is always lots of fun.
On Friday, Abby's parents and brother drove down from Dallas. Before they arrived, Abby got to build a snowman from the previous night's snow. Snow is rare in Kerrville.
Suzanne, Rob and Jackson made it in time for dinner and we had lots of fun catching up. The children spent the two nights they were here with us while their parents got some well deserved rest at a local hotel. I am not sure who had the most fun, grandparents or parents.
Little Jackson toes taste great!
Abby and Jackson teach us about Gangnam style.
On Saturday we drove to Fredericksburg to celebrate Roger's birthday.
Jackson takes a look at the town's pyramid.
We had a birthday dinner for Roger at Bejas Grill. That is our favorite restaurant in Fredericksburg.
Sunday morning arrived quickly and we had to say goodbye. We have had two incredible months with immediate and extended family in Dallas and Kerrville. Saying goodbye to our Dallas children caps the end of a wonderful holiday season for us.

We leave for Tucson on Saturday. The rest of this week will be spent having some work done on the coach and enjoying this beautiful area of Texas. We do look forward to the warmer climes of Arizona. Thank you for checking in with us.
