Well, technically it was the weekend before, but it was fun all the same. We left after work on Friday and drove down to Del Rio, Texas. Neither of us had been in that area before, but it had some interesting things nearby. It took me totally by surprise because Chris called me when I was going to pick up Deacon from daycare and told me to not pick him up but drive straight home. When I got home, no one was there. A few minutes later Chris comes in and says, "Okay, let's go." I'm like, "Where's Deacon and Xena?" He says, "They're at grandma's." He tells me we are going to go on a hike like we used to every Valentine's Day. I asked him if I needed to put my sneakers on, and he says, "Oh, they're already packed." I was very confused. I asked if I needed to pack any clothes, and he told me he already packed everything. So we drove 5 hours, and were in a completely different part of the state terrain-wise. Very scrubby, and very desolate. I can't imagine sneaking into the U.S. over there, because you'd have to crawl in on your belly to not be seen. The largest plant/tree was less than waist height.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We were very fortunate to get some on February 23rd or thereabouts. This was the most snow this area has gotten in recent years. They say, a good snow only comes around every ten years or so. With almost every house in our neighborhood sporting a snowman, I believe it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is our new-ish front door. It spent a good deal of time on our garage floor waiting to be stained and sealed. It replaced a solid white steel door. We had it custom made and spent less than if we'd bought one at Home Depot/Lowe's. Yay, for Susan and Steve's suggestion to go to Door Outlet. Oh, and the child gate is for the dog.

It was a BEAUTIFUL day, and apparently everyone thought so since the place was very crowded. They had face paintings (not a good idea since Deacon rubs his nose a lot,) pumpkin painting, corn mazes, pony rides, goats, donkeys, delicious strawberry popsicles and strawberry lemonades, and a hayride. </span><br />

Not that anyone is keeping track, but his team won 3 - 0 or 3 - 1. Don't worry, I'm not going to post pics from every game. I just wanted people to see his uniform, and see him getting into the game.</span><br />

We figured we had to go to the Rams' game on the 27th because they were retiring David "Deacon" Jones' number, our son's namesake. Yes, we are crazy, but in my defense when I agreed to go the game I was thinking "No problem, it's only a 6 hour drive." Yah, from TULSA! And I do not live in Tulsa anymore. So, really it was a 14 hour drive. Yikes! But it was worth it. We met my sister, Stephanie, and my brother-in-law, Robert there on Saturday afternoon. We had a great time!! If you get the chance to go, definitely stop by Goody Goody Diner. That place is awesome. Good food, reasonable prices, and best breakfast in St. Louis.</span><br />
