Second Day of Vacation - 22 December

Mike had to work.

Arielle and I spent some time formatting her Christmas writing assignment.

The morning found a site that I never imagined I’d see in my back yard.


After lunch the kids, Grandma and I headed for Tinseltown. The kids voted to see “Yours, Mine and Ours”. There were parts to this movie that I loved and parts that I thought were lame. All in all, we did enjoy it. Back at home Grandpa rested.

The afternoon provided time for the girls to wrap presents and for me to take Mom to the local stores to buy a few last minute items.
Mike got home in time for us to have a late dinner and head for the Concho River. Our little town puts on an amazing light tour on the banks of the river. The lights are reflected in the water and the radio station plays greetings and well loved Christmas carols. Much of the light displays are built around “The 12 Days of Christmas”. I’ll upload more pictures of that tomorrow . . . love having the camera back.


The night ended with us discovering that our very own neighborhood is really one of the most lit up in town…and then reading the night’s reading from *Bartholomew’s Passage*.
