We are finished with our 4 days of work and are off for the next 9 days. The kids and grandkids are joining us for an Easter weekend campout. Unfortunately, Tim has to leave early to get Zach back to Vicki. At least, we will get to see all of them and enjoy some fun time with each!! If the weather cooperates, we plan to go tubing on the San Marcos river. Spring time weather in Texas is very unpredictable but brings all of our SO VERY pretty wild flowers.

Whew!!! Another long day at work..HaHa. Actually, it is very tiring to make busy work for 8 hours. We have 2 more days to work this week...off for 9 days....work 4 days and we are finished here. We are going to spend a week in Georgetown with Tan and family, then a week in Lampasas with both boys and families, then off to Smith Center, Kansas to the Excel factory for warranty work. While the RV is in the shop, we are going to meet friends Jim & Cathy Brockamp in Las Vegas. Should be fun!!! After we pick up our RV, we head for Alamosa, CO to work at Alamosa NWR for the summer. We get to work with Floyd again. He was the refuge manager we worked for at Brazoria NWR...a great guy!!! Really looking forward to this summer.

Back at our "home" campground once again. We spent the last 1o days camping with friends from around the country. We spent several days in Sattler, TX with our Rigs-A-Mortis camping club then to the Rio Grande Valley for another week. The valley is such a fun place to visit as there is always so much happening. Friends from Custer State Park (Lee & Judy Knote) were Winter Texans so got to enjoy a great week with them. They even had dinner ready for us when we arrived last Sunday!!! Also got to visit with several friends that have moved to the valley. Such a great week! But back to the real world for another month!

Whew!!! It has been a hectic few days...we worked the last 4 days and with spring break it was BUSY! Lots of campers and day use people checking in and out. We had times where there were several kids in the office buying candy, the phone ringing for new reservations,campers checking in/out and tubers needing to be picked up all at once!! Hectic, hectic but since we are only scheduled for 4 days this month, I think we will survive.

Our daughter and family have been with us for the last several days plus our grand-daughter spent 3 days. All of the kids had fun in the river, either tubing or just playing around! Such fun!!

Cold, rainy and Friday the 13th!!! I spent most of my day traveling to/from my parents house in the rain, taking Mom to get blood work done and visiting with one of my brothers and my sisters. My little brother is home on R&R from Afghanistan. They were there to help take down the storage shed they gave to my little sister as the folks are moving back to Brackettville the 17th. I don't agree with the decision but by the time I was told (while I was in Mexico), they had already made all of the arrangements. I hate for them to be so far away from ANY family or decent medical care but they have made it VERY, VERY clear that they are going to do what they want and I am not to interfere. Guess it is time for me to give up!!!

It's cold and raining AND SPRING BREAK! We are already starting to get several cancellations for the upcoming week-end at the campground. I feel bad for Kathy & TJ (the campground owners) but we sure do need the rain. It is supposed to warm up by early next week. We are to have our grandkids so hope we can spend most of the time outside.

We are back from Mexico. Nice time but are so glad to be home. We spent the first week in Puerto Vallarta mostly just hanging out. Sat around the pool or on the beach and drank margaritas!! We did go on a whale watching excursion that was fun!!! Also went into town for a special dinner to celebrate our 43rd anniversary.

The second week we went to Cabo. Again mostly just hung out by the pool. The beach there is not nearly as nice as PV, sharp drop-offs and a strong under tow. We did walk into town to the marina one day....hard walking on the beach because it is such an angle. Again, we went on a whale watch...saw many more whales and MUCH closer.

A few pix from the trip. A view of the ocean from out balcony, the Aches of Cabo and the whales! All in all, great trip with great friends!!
