Long Weekend Away as a Family of 4

So really we are a family of 5 if you include Riggins but he stayed home for this trip. Last Friday we packed up (who would have thought packing for 4 would take so long) and set out for Horseshoe Bay Resort. It was a bit of a long drive for what was supposed to be 4 hours but we made it!

We ate at Pizza Hut in Marble Falls. As the waiter delivered the water, one glass fell over and splashed all over our sleeping Brooklyn. A few tears later she had recovered from the shock and was perfectly happy. The waiter was very apologetic and gave us a free salad. This stop marked Brooklyn's first time in a restaurant highchair. She looks like such a big girl and sat up so well.


Makena enjoying the crust and sauce. Yum!Then off to our room with a view...oh well it was a great price and we had our own built in white noise. Really I didn't notice any noise.

Pool time. Makena loved swimming and Brooklyn enjoyed floating.

We enjoyed ourselves so much we stayed an extra day. We stopped in Burnett on the way home and ate at Storm's which was delicious.

As we approached Hico on the way home, a man flagged us down because an SUV had just gone off the road and flipped over a fence and he was not getting a cell phone signal to call 9-1-1. The SUV was smashed on one side, Don called 9-1-1 and quickly a sheriff showed up. By the time Don made the call and then got over the fence, a lady and child were climbing out of the car. Praise God they were ok.
