We're Back and some photos of our first day in Leakey, Texas!



Ahhh it is so nice to be home...well maybe....the heat and humidity doesn't feel to good!!




Tuesday, on our way to Leaky, we stopped off in Bandera Texas for some shopping...


Fred had to try on hats, LMBO!!
I honestly think he should have bought it!! It just suits him to a "T"!!!!
This was the road between Vanderpool and Leakey, isn't it SWEET!!



Posing for a photo in the backyard of the house/cabin where we stayed!


Grammy and Michael playing games!

This was the stairs to the Frio River from the back yard. Mom counted the steps...56 of them!! I felt every one of them too!! That is Fred at the top taking in the view!


One of the sunfish we caught and that is about all we caught...Not a good week for fishing!!




Okay...We had a little incident upon our arrival!




While we were all checking out the Frio River...




Fred and I heard a YELP, Branch BREAK and KERPLUNK!!




We turned around and Grammy decided to get a head start on the swimming!!




Yep She fell in the River....UH OH!!




Fred went to her rescue and I tried to record the incident on camera...


that is once I saw she was okay...


I was LAUGHING so hard I was having problems holding the camera!!




So I've decided Grammy's new nickname is "KERPLUNK"!!




She just couldn't wait to get in and try out the water...Sigh!!






A drowned RAT!!
Yep Grammy we all had a great laugh! Thanks!
And NO I don't want to join you for a wet t-shirt contest!!!
We had some beautiful weather while we were there and the views (as always) were spectacular....I took over 1,000 photos, Yikes!!
So be prepared as the photos above were just a few of the first day/afternoon-evening!!
There will definitely be more to follow...
We're home safe and sound and a bit wore out!!
