Trip to New Braunfels/Gruene

A couple weekends ago, we took a short trip down the interstate. There was a surprise party for Cory's brother's 40th, so we packed up Nana and made a weekend out of it.

First thing we did was check out the hotel grounds while my mom took a nap (unfortunately we had all passed around an awful stomach bug, and her turn started on the trip down there). Walking around a huge grassy area was just what Ethan needed after the hour-long trip.

Seriously huge trees around these parts

That evening we headed to Gruene River Grill for the big surprise. We met Cory's brothers, sister-in-law, and future sister-in-law, along with a few of the birthday boy's friends.

Surprise! Probably a big surprise, since his birthday is October and all (long story).

Me and the Mister all dressed up.

Brothers.

The next day we took a dip in the pool, window-shopped a little in Gruene (which in our opinion is a little overrated), and then drove along the river. We ended up finding a spot not filled with people toobing (why is it spelled that way?) and let Ethan wade around a little.

He loved it. And we loved how cool the water was after walking around in bajillion degree weather.

All in all in was a nice little trip, and the hotel was awesome. We've decided we're going back when my mom doesn't feel like she's dying.
