Salado, Texas

There is a town South of Waco, known as Salado. In my 8 years of living in Waco I have never made it down to visit this quaint little town, so you can imagine how excited I was when Jennifer called me at 8:30 am last Saturday and said she and Jason and Hannah were taking a trip to Salado. I threw on my hat and went along with them. Here are some of the sites that I took in on my visit. It really is a neat town. They are famous for their Christmas displays and holiday atmosphere in December. Now that I have been to Salado, I can't wait to experience this town at Christmas time!!! P.S. - I found some delicious beef jerky here!

Farm Day

Waco has an organization called The World Hunger Farm. It's really a great organization as they teach people all around the world how to farm and eat off of their own land. I am sure there is a lot I am over-looking as I try to describe this great ministry, but to be honest I had not have even heard of it until this year. A couple of weeks ago, The World Hunger Farm hosted Farm Day. It gave citizens of Waco and surrounding communities an opportunity to tour the farm and help to understand all that they do. I went with Jennifer, Jason, and Hannah to Farm Day and it was a fun little outing.

Fun April Day

Today I had the day off from work. It was a Bad Weather Day that we never had to use, so here I was with a Monday with beautiful weather and nothing to do. We (we, meaning Jennifer, Hannah, Caleb and Crystal) decided to go to the Mayborn museum today and we ALL came out of a FUN experience.

I don't know who had more fun though. Maybe you can decide...

Was it Hannah? Who chased birds, had a tea party, looked for her friend, even climbed a tree!




Was it Caleb? Who chased Hannah around all day, rode a horse, had some tea himself, and made beautiful music with his mom!

Was it Crystal? Who played the giant piano with her feet and got herself trapped in a bubble.

Was it Jennifer? Who created this amazing bubble and this cool drawing.

Or was it me? I climbed in and through everything the kids did, got stuck in a car, and took all of these fun pictures!

Whatever you decide, we all had a great time and were sad to leave.

Bye, bye museum!
