Fall Break

 Nana and Papa have taken each of their grandchildren on a trip when they are 13.  Caden went with them on his trip over Fall Break this year.  He chose to go to the Basketball Hall of Fame and a few other places in New England.  Nana and Caden in the library of FDR's house in Hyde Park, NY.

Annabelle needed to be in town on Saturday for her Nutcracker rehearsal.  So we decided to go to Fredericksburg with Lilly Stueve and her mom.  I drove down, and while sitting in quite a bit of traffic in Waco, I took a picture of the new basketball arena that is set to open in January.

The girls have already taken my phone and started taking silly pictures.

We rented a house just off Main street.  After dinner the first night, the girls got in the hot tub.

We went to hike Enchanted Rock the next morning.

We made it!

After hiking, we went back to do some shopping on Main Street.  And a crazy selfie during dinner.

Annabelle is so excited to be in the Nutcracker this year.  She is a Russian, which is the part that she really wanted.  There are 19 Covenant girls in the production this year, which is the most there have ever been.  I put together the ad for the program.
