Climb every mountain.. (or rock)

Since Daddy is hom we only have 37 days to cram as much stuff in as we can.  So for starters we thought we would travel just north of Fredericksburg to a state park called Enchanted Rock.  It is as the name suggest a Rock.  Now Kevin and I had climbed this thing before, when we were engaged. (you do alot when you are dating or engaged that you would normally have no desire to do, all to impress a boy).  I have a picture of this somewhere in a box that has not yet been unpacked since I have been home.  I promise I will add it because it is a cute picture.  Now other than being 14 years younger and in much better physical condition, the only difference was that it was fall and A LOT cooler than the beging of August (the hottest month of the year) and we did not have two little people in tow.  So we got there around 11A, already too hot, but we were there are we were going to do this.  I had a snuggie for Blayne and the jogging stroller for Ethan.  I remember taking the long trail up the last time we had done this, it wasn't as steep.  For some reason I remember this being a fairly flat trail and way shorter.  I guess when you get older your memory starts to fail you.  Or I just rewrote the story in my head to make the experience more enoyable in my memory and after 14 years it just became fact.  Let's just say, this time round we didn't get too far as in not even on the the trail, just to the begining of the trail at the base of the rock.  But we had pictures.  We decided since we were there we would eat lunch in town, and then go peach picking.  However by the time we got to the orchards the boys were sound asleep and so we just drove to the 1st place that sold peaches and bough an 1/8 of a bushel and made cobbler when we got home.
