A Super Weekend

On Super Saturday we all gathered

at the Riverside Grill and boarded

our cruise ship for a 2 hour cruise up the

Rio Grande River.  We cruised past the

Chimney Rock RV Park on the US side of the river and we saw

recreational facilities on the Mexico side of the river.

All along the river we were reminded of the awesome job of the Border Patrol.  We saw

helicopters,

boats, and

land patrol.  The boat driver pointed out

places along the river where it is obvious that the illegal's enter the river.

While the Border Patrol stays busy doing their job…

we found these guys swimming in the river.  However, they don’t seem to be bothered about which side of the river they are on. LOL

We also saw

this pretty restaurant on the Mexico side of the river.  Sorry, we couldn’t stop, but not everyone on the cruise had their passports.  But, soon, we were back

to our restaurant and it was lunchtime!  We also had the pleasure of sharing

Arlene’s birthday with her.  So,

Happy Birthday, Arlene.  Later in the evening,

we gathered at Kevin and Arlene’s for

birthday cake, and continued our visiting until time for all to go home.

Super Sunday…

Today, everyone planned to go out to the Don Wes Flea Market.  Well, everyone, but us and Rod and Deb…and the four of us rented

this ATV and were off for an adventure.  We traveled

on the levee road…and

on the back road…and

on the jungle road.

We saw a coyote, that was too fast for the camera and

this hawk who was looking for dinner.

We traveled on to a big field were we took

a much needed break.

Then…

our driver said, it was time to get back….because soon

our guests would be arriving and they would be ready to eat!  And, that also meant it would be time for a

a little football!  And, we all know how that

turned out….some where happy and

some were a little disappointed!

But what a great game it was and congratulations to the Saints!!

As we ended this super weekend, we are all disappointed to have to say good-bye to Rod and Deb.  They will be traveling tomorrow up to San Antonio to visit with their son for a few weeks.  But, we look forward to their return in March to Rockport.

Travel safe and see you soon!
