Fredericksburg

This past week, Korben and I met up with my parents and a couple of friends of theirs in Fredericksburg for a mini vacation. I had never been before and wasn't sure if there would be much to do in such a small town, but I was looking forward to the time away! And the trip ended up being a lot of fun! I wish Josh could have joined us but he had to work. They've got some camp grounds so maybe next time we will make it a camping trip and get Josh to go. :)

The main purpose of the trip was to go to this huge nursery called Wildseed Farm and it really was gigantic! There were acres of plants and garden things! And there was also a butterfly exhibit that we got to go to. If you know me, you know I have a thing for butterflies. I just love what they represent with whole chrysalis thing and becoming a new creation. I have never seen so many different butterflies in one place... it was really neat! We also spent a day going to the shops and eating peach cobbler since Fredericksburg is apparently known for their peaches. Luckenbach is really close by and they are supposed to have really good pulled pork sandwiches so we went there a few times... unfortunately, the restaurant was closed every single time we went! But, there were always some locals out playing some great music so there was never a wasted trip! I've got a few pictures from Luckenbach and since there are already a ton of pictures on this post, I'll do a seperate post dedicated to that later. For now, enjoy the gazillion pics from Fredericksburg.... :)

Korben and Grandpoo :)

There were 2 things Korben liked more than just about anything. One of those things was drinking coke.....

....the other was getting ice! He wanted to push that button all day every day!

One of the stores we went to had a TON of goofy hats so we all tried one on. Korben liked the elephant hat!

Mommy got a mad hatter hat...

Grandpoo wore a crab on his head!

And Gram wore a wizard hat!

The weather was warm enough to get some swimming in so we did just that. This picture was right before Korben decided to jump in the pool all by himself... he wasn't too happy with that decision later on but thankfully he had the floaties on so he was ok!

Swimming with Gram and Grandpoo. I know the arm floaties seem like overkill since Korben is sitting in the big boat float but he refused to sit still for very long in that thing so the arm floaties were definitely needed!

Fun with Gram in the water!

The gigantic nursery we went to...

Korben standing in some plants...

This was a new butterfly just coming out of it's cocoon in the butterfly house. It was really cool to see!

He thinks he's so cool! :)

Waiting on his candy from the fudge shop... :)

Riding on Grandpoos shoulders is Korbens favorite way to travel!

I'm sure the conversation they were having was very deep. :)

Gram got her turn to get her ears talked off!

I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come in the future... unless that future is being a fireman and NOT a pole dancer!

Stay tuned for the (shorter) Luckenbach post!
