Tarpley, TX...heard of it?

Last week we took a long weekend to go see Dave's family in Tarpley, TX. Our trip started out great when Ethan fell asleep on takeoff and slept almost the entire flight...such a good boy! Once we arrived in San Antonio, Dave's family picked us up and we headed to downtown San Antonio to the Riverwalk for some ice cream...Ethan LOVED it!! We also went to see the Alamo before heading out to their place in Tarpley.

While we were there, we went to several little towns to see the sights and buy a few souvenirs. Ethan got a stuffed horse and a tractor shirt, I got some homemade jam and a hat and Dave got a cowboy boot ornament for our tree and some hot pickles...poor Dave tried on a real nice cowboy looking shirt but it just didn't fit...oh well, pickles are a nice souvenir, right?? :)

The one thing we were bummed about was missing Dave's cousin's horse club event on Monday evening. The ONLY day it rained was of course Monday evening...grr!
