Back to Blogging with a mini-update (Waltonia 2009)

Well blogging friends its been a while since we have posted. We have been in and out of town these past 3 weeks having loads of fun starting with our trip to Kerrville, Texas to a place called Waltonia Lodges for Matt's annual family reunion. As always, we had many adventures and lots of family fun, floating and food! The first day, before we got to the cabin, we went shopping at some stores we have nevere been to along with an afternoon of shopping in Fredricksburg (a small German town near to Kerrville). The pictures below were taken at a store store called Wildseed Farms where they sell a multitude of items ranging from plants, to jewelry, to local food and wine and many other things. They have a HUGE field covered in sunflowers that are easily 8 feet tall. We bought some seeds to plant next season and see how they turn out.Every year, there are always baby animals of all sorts running around everywhere. Usually there is a tame baby dear but not this time . They always get fed by all of the people staying. These baby goats were actually too young still to eat food, they were still nursing.This little pig is one of three that were born last year. I guess they are little pot belly pigs because they are full grown.This is one of the momma donkeys. She couldnt reach the river easily so I found a cup and gave her water for like 30 minutes one cup at a time before I finally went to the cabin and got a bowl. That was much easier.

Well I had intended to write more on this blog but it is late-ish, my computer is dying and I dont want it to be too long so I will continue again tomorrow hopefully.
