SandyO's Blog: Birthday Weekend

We celebrated my mom's birthday this past Saturday! My aunt, my mom's sister drove from Dallas to be with her. We love when my aunt visits- she is so much fun! I took my mom & aunt out for a fun night out in San Antonio for some drinks =) We were so excited to make it to the river walk in 40 minutes; However, we were stuck in grid lock traffic for another 30 minutes. We were just a block away from the river walk parking garage, but the cop directing traffic said it would take us hours to drive one more block. There was a parade coming through and suggested to park anywhere. Well, lucky for us I spotted valet parking at a steakhouse! The valet staff knew we weren't going to eat there, but still took our car for a hefty price tag- $20 to park!!! Oh well, we just wanted to get out of the car and enjoy our evening & some drinks....

The following day my aunt had a little surprise for Hannah. She bought her baby chick and told her to name the chick after her- Tia Claudia, lol! Gabe fixed up the chicken coop and the chicks loved their new home. The chicken coop was already on the property, but the grass and random tree sprouts took over plus Gabe had to find a way to connect electricity for the heat lamp. Gabe put in a lot of effort to clean it and make it comfortable for our lady chicks. We are so excited for them to lay eggs in a few months. We will truly be eating organic, cage free eggs! I miss seeing them roam the front porch and even though we have to walk a ways to visit them I'm happy they have their own place and safe from the dogs and rodents.
