San Antonio & Good Visits with Friends and Family!

After our stay near Austin, we drove down to San Antonio.  We stayed at another Thousand Trails Campground which was very nice.  They had many opportunities for fellowship including potluck dinners, ice cream socials, and Christmas events.  (Those of you who know me, know I REALLY like social gatherings!  I have really missed all of our St. Louis friends the past few weeks so this really was a blessing to me especially!) We enjoyed attending some of these events and meeting people from Washington state, Oklahoma, and some other full time RVers as well.

At our campground, it was deer mating season, so there were deer EVERYWHERE! They were not afraid of people at all.  Back in St. Louis, we would occasionally have a few deer roam our neighborhood, but this was different.  Everyday, there would be around 3 to 5 deer hanging around our campsite.  They were very tame and would not run away when we came outside close by them.  I think they thought we might give them food, but we decided it would be best just to observe and not get too close just in case they might bite.  Also, during my jogs, I would come across dozens of deer just eating or wandering around.  One morning during breakfast,  two female deer ran by the window.  Shortly afterwards, a male deer ran by.  One of the boys said they must be playing tag! Tee hee :)

We had the opportunity for visits with some good friends and family along the way.  I LOVE being able to reconnect with loved ones during our travels!  First, we had a lunch visit with the Powells on our way to San Antonio.  They used to be our neighbors in St. Louis before they moved to Texas about a year or so ago.

Thanks for the great visit Karen, Ivan and Travis!

During our stay in San Antonio, we took a day trip to visit my Aunt and Uncle at their beautiful home in New Braunfels.  We had a wonderful visit.  The boys loved seeing all of their chickens! They also have a beautiful garden with a variety of vegetables. Before we left, they showed us a beautiful outdoor park that the community calls "The Island".

They all have cute names like "Dot" and "Big Bertha"

This is just one small area of the garden...covered up for the winter. 

Joshua was fascinated by this little inchworm that was feasting in the garden!

My handsome boys:)

Thank you Uncle Paul and Aunt Janice! It was great to see you!

Blessings to you and yours!

Jill and the boys:)
