| Dinner out with the family. |
Well as they say the best laid plans.... alright I don't really know what the saying is, but basically my plans seem to rarely work out. We have had a great stretch of weather for a few days and I have really been looking forward to taking the camper out.
Of course, that means the only two days we wanted to go just happen to coincide with the only two days of bad weather that is expected. We might have still tried to go, but the final nail in the coffin was T coming down with bronchitis. Now, our date is hopefully in two more weeks since next weekend is busy with routine doctor appointments and a farrier visit.
T is also getting his braces next week. It is a really exciting way for us to use our tax return. Think of all the wonderful memories we will make with his braces! Just kidding of course, but he needs them so instead of a trip to the elephant sanctuary, we will be going to the orthodontist. However, we plan to hopefully be able to do the elephant sanctuary and some other fun stuff in Fredericksburg later this year or we might just do our Branson trip. We really missed going to Branson last year. We really love that area.

A is doing a lot better with driving. The last time I made her drive home from the store, she actually didn't call me mean for making her learn to drive. She came back today and wasn't even crying. We are making great progress. Her anxiety levels are just crazy, but as she practices and gets more use to driving, she is relaxing a little bit more. I feel bad for her, but she has to learn to drive. She leaves in a year so she needs to be completely comfortable behind the wheel by then which means that now is her time to safely practice with us. Ok, so according to her she always plans to live in her room and never leave, but she will have to leave to go to work or school and there is NO public transportation in the country.

L is about to officially start volleyball season. We have been working hard all off season so the girls are really ready to play. I think they will hold their own in their division. Both A and L plan to tryout for a club team in May so they have also been working towards that. It will require a lot more driving from me for games since they play all over Texas and southern Oklahoma, but the girls seem excited for a chance to play on a more elite team.
One of our favorite things to do as a family is to go and see the productions the local children's theatre puts on. The most recent one was Shrek. They always do a fantastic job and are a lot of fun. This time our eldest son, C, and his family joined us. He is now working as an insurance agent and is busy a lot so it is always great when we are able to see him.

| Our granddaughter-in-law was all about winning the peg game. |
 |
| Actually all the kids were really intent on winning. I hope no other table wanted to play. I think we had them all at our table! |
D is busy trying to NOT get sick while T is busy trying to infect us all. I think D may lose this battle. He usually manages to catch most of the illnesses that head our way.

| He is just a big kid! |

| Lunch at Chuy's |

| I had the veggie enchiladas-no gluten, no dairy--- they were really yummy, but VERY spicy! |
My hip has been doing better. I still have bad days, but they are fewer and farther between. I am really working on NOT over doing things and that really seems to help, though my doctor and I seem to be on completely different pages for what over doing it means. I really don't think he understands how much I use to do and what I am currently doing is scaled back A LOT. The rest of my family has had way too much fun playing on the mobility scooter I was gifted from a relative who wasn't using it. I plan to utilize it when we take ALL day trips to like the zoo or botanical gardens. Places where walking too long would really aggravate my bursitis. I will be curious how long the battery lasts. I might have a funny story about where it dies.
