Peach Picking in Fredricksburg

We took a summer vacation to Fredricksburg in June. Joey had to work at his Austin location and we decided to take advantage of that! While Joey worked, Joseph and I visited my good friend who I've known since 1st grade. She took us to Mayfield park where there were about 20 beautiful peacocks. Joseph Loved walking behind them and watching them open their feathers. We even saw a male courting a female. So cool! Then she took us to swim in the pretty river in Austin. I think I could live in that city! Love it.
From Austin, we headed to Enchanted Rock. The drive was beautiful! We made it there while Joseph snoozed in the back seat. So he did hike the entire way up, half the time chasing his hat up the rock that was blowing in the wind. The boys even explored through some rock caves. I heard there were daddy long legs in there so I waited at the entrance. Heading down the rock was a different story. Joseph pretty much had enough rock hiking at this point. Joey had to carry him all the way down. Enchanted rock was so beautiful we want to go back. After the hike we headed into Fredricksburg to meet our friends and find our cabin just outside of town. The cabin was very spacious overlooking a pecan tree orchard, goat farm, and egg laying hens. Joseph had his own room with a twin bed, he picked his room and loved it. We enjoyed picking fresh peaches, walking around downtown, and eating German food. Our friends have 2 boys younger than Joseph so we spent a lot of time just relaxing at the cabin too. Each evening we took a walk to the tank and sat

out on the pier to listen to the martins chatter and the huge bullfrogs.It was a great vacation despite our friends boys having fever the entire time...I just knew Joseph was going to catch what they had but luckily we didn't! We will probably go back next summer and I can't wait!

BULLFROG!
