Today we went for a Memorial Day Walk.

But let me start at the beginning.

Before that, we made our annual trek to New Braunfels for lunch with a few of my old friends.

We ate at a pizza joint called Infernos, just down the road from Greene Hall. After we ate and visited, we walked down to the dancehall and watched a band playing Texas swing. It was hot though, and all the kids were getting tired, so we only stayed a little while.

Afterward we went by and dropped $70 at Buc-ee’s – not including gas – because that is just how we roll right now.

We got back to Grandma and Grandpa’s house around 5.

But around dusk, we decided to go for a walk down their dead-end road.

Our walk was magical.

We saw:

• A GIANT axis deer (buck).
• A very large tarantula crossing the road.
• A jackrabbit.
• A bat.
• A snake (that had been run over).
• And a ton of fire flies.

I think few things will set off the imagination of little girls like a country stroll.

The walk halfway down the road was a breeze, and mom and I didn’t even mind having to carry y’all back.

I love you.
