Recently, Ron and I had to make a trip down to Central Texas to pick up his father’s ring. It had broken and was in for repair at a jewelry store we have used for decades. Whenever we are in the area, we try to get together with at least part of the family.
Ryan and his family met us at the park in Lampassas for a picnic lunch, feeding ducks, and a chance to just visit. It was a beautiful day, perfect for being outside. It was also our new pup, Theo’s, first introduction to the twins. He fell in love with them! Which was a huge relief. He is a bit on the defensive when he is around strangers.
Besides the beautiful weather, lovely park, great company, and lots of laughter, there was one more thing that made the day relaxing and stress free. That was the total lack of interest little Theo had in the ducks. Well, except for their poop. He thought it was rather tasty.
Thank goodness! I really didn’t want to drive home with a wet, stinky dog that had decided to dive in after them!
Here are some pictures Jamie and I snapped while there. I can’t wait for our next park adventure. Maybe Meridian State Park. It is about half way between us. Soon; for sure!

She tried to interest them in the duck food. They weren’t interested.

Sophia getting up close to the scraggliest looking duck there!
It took a while to actually find the ducks. Surprisingly, they were near a group of people fishing.
One of several long legged birds. I am going to guess it is a gray herin… maybe?
Poppy and Theo walking along with the girls.
My number one son, Ryan. Such a kind and handsome guy.
Ron, Jamie, and Ryan cheesing for the camera.
Samantha cornered one!
Yet another long legged bird. Just a little scruffier.
Lots and lots of ducks. All sizes and colors.
