Welcome to the Dino Park! (It got 8 thumbs up from all of us!)
Petting the baby T-rex hatchling. Dominic finally found some friends his own size!
Rounding the corner at the Dino Park to see the T-REX! Look at Dominic's face!
Generously sharing a cracker with the T Rex. He *does* look a little peckish.
My husband the ham, always making me laugh. Do you think he might have missed his calling? ;)
A park at the end of the dino trail, complete with a dig for "dino" bones too! They had a GREAT gift shop with lots of hands on activities for children. This park was dino-myte!!! ;)
Time for the BEST tomato bisque soup and toasted BLT sandwiches in the whole wide world! Dominic was ravenous, so were we!
Roasting marshmellows with Daddy
The "freeze dip" manuever Daddy invented just for Dominic
Cuddling with my favorite 2 year old
Just wanted to share some pictures with you guys of our weekend wilderness retreat! We enjoyed our lovely cabin hidden in the Lost Pines of Texas, complete with a front porch jacuzzi and hammock, wood burning fireplace and all kinds of amenities to make our lives as homey as possible! :) (Thanks for the recommendation, Buchan family!!!)
We took nature walks on the camp grounds (and happened across a lone, broken foosball table at the community pavilion, which occupied us while we waited for dinner to finish baking), visited a Dinosaur Park ( to rival those many, random, side-of-the-road theme parks of Florida that I recall with fondness), had Greek food, visited a Belgian chocolatier and brought home truffles and bon bons (sorry folks, they're all gone now!), celebrated Mass at one of the historic painted churches of Central Texas, roasted marshmellows in the fireplace and had time to write, read and nap too! We were welcomed home by Senele with love (as her country home was right on our path home) and her homemade bombas (GIANT potato dumplings filled with her famous homemade cottage cheese, and then smothered in bacon and chive bits with plenty of sour cream).
Now we're back to reality (booooo!) planning for the start of Bronius' new job, my course work and most importantly - baby! We're trying to hold on to the memories of peace and simplicity as best we can though! :) Continued wishes for simplicity, peace and wellness for all of us in the new year!
