Labor Day Annual Trigon Hunt

This past weekend we headed to San Antonio for my Dad's company annual dove hunt. I usually join the boys in the field, but I felt being 9 months pregnant and shooting a gun was not a good idea. Plus, I have a hard time just walking from the house to my car in the driveway in this heat. There was no way I could hunt all afternoon in the heat. Although I was sad to sit the hunt out this year...I did have a blast shopping with my Mom and her friend Kim. We had a lot of fun, and shopped till we dropped Saturday. I had to come back and take a nap that afternoon! Of course since college football started this weekend we watched several games. The men did really well on their hunts, and all got plenty of birds. We went to dinner Saturday night at a really good Mexican Restaurant. Everyone had margaritas, and I sooo wanted to drink one too! Next year...

Sunday after breakfast us women shopped on the riverwalk. I must have done a lot of walking, because I had to take a break and sit down. We even had to go into a Salt Grass and sit down. I really thought I was going to go into labor. I kept telling my Mom I needed to call Dustin to come get me. I did not think I could walk back to the hotel. My Mom got on her phone and found that if we walk out on the street we were only .02 miles away from the hotel. I managed to walk back.Ha. Since the Aggies were playing Sunday night we ordered pizza and watched the game in the room. Everyone had pizza and beer, so I had pizza and Pepsi. I don't think drinking something caffeinated that late was a good idea. Kaylee was up ALL night moving and kicking around. I was beyond exhausted the next day.

Dustin had meetings in Austin Tuesday morning, so we decided to stay the night in Pipe Creek. We would just get up Tuesday morning and go to Austin. Since the nice front came through Sunday night it was wonderful in Pipe Creek! All the animals were just roaming around. I sat by the pool for a while and got some sun. We turned in early Monday night. I was so tired from not sleeping the night before that it did not hurt my feelings at all to go to bed early.

Tuesday morning, my birthday, we got up and drove to Austin. While Dustin was finishing up things with the company Halliburton is moving from Austin to Houston, I went to the mall. I needed to go to MAC for makeup, and was on a mission to find Kaylee some pants. She has a ton of onsies, and I thought with the weather changing soon I should find her some pants to go over them. I found a really good deal at Children's Place, and got her jeans and stretch pants for $2.99! We ate my birthday lunch and started our way home. With all the fires in Basdrop we had to detour around to 290. It is so sad to see all the fires here in Texas. It literally looked like the world was coming to an end in Basdrop. Please pray for all the families who have lost their homes. The news last said that there are over 1,000 homes lost. Also, please pray for RAIN! We defiantly need it!
