Mini Vacation #2




Our second little vacation was a short trip to Concan and the Frio River. Cory, the girls, and I all drove there to meet up with Jessica and her family for a couple nights. We rented a house that was walking distance to the Frio. Jessica has 3 kids - Jace - 5, Ella - 3, and Joel - 10 months. We were not sure how Ella and Adilyn would really get along, but they became best friends, almost immediately! They played and ran around the house and screamed and played some more! It was really cute. We hung around the house, then we went down and played in the river for a while. Cory was hoping to be able to do a little work, but unfortunately we couldn't get cell or internet service. Instead of playing at the river, he had to go up to the little store up the road to do some work. The next morning we woke up, and it was raining. The kids watched some movies and played inside, and luckily it cleared up enough to go down to the river again. Adilyn and Ella pretended to be mermaids. They were Ariel and Merliah. Jace got to be the "mermaid catcher". We watched tubers and kayakers come down the river. The kids swam around like crazy and pretended to "tube" a little. What fun!
I am so lucky to have a friend like Jessica in my life. We have been friends for over 12 years, and whenever we get together, it's like we never spent any time apart. Everything is so easy with her, and there is never any drama or anything else that is "hard". It was all made even better this time to see our sweet little girls have so much fun together! It's so hard to find friends that last a lifetime!
