Rockport

This past weekend Brinley went to "the ocean" with Gigi and Giggles (Penny and Sammy) and Kandi. Brent and I met them down there on Saturday. Friday was my Uncle Darnells birthday so there was to be a 'surprise" party thrown in his honor..... I don't know how much of a surprise it ended up being but they still got to celebrate his Birthday in grand Knippa style (fishing, great food, beer and wine) :D Saturday came and Brent, Brylen and I headed down to "the ocean." It was a pretty uneventful ride..... except for if you are ever traveling between Goliad and Refugio there are NO gas stations along that stretch. So if your low fuel light comes on or is anywhere close to coming on acknowledge it and fill up. We didn't run out of gas but when you know that you have 31 miles to go before you are bone dry and you go 33 miles to the nearest gas station then you are running on fumes! However, we got to the gas station filled up ($118) :( and kept on trucking. When we arrived in Rockport we made it just in time to swim with the girls in the pool. Brinley is really becoming a little fish and has no fear. Brylen just laughs the entire time she is in the water, luckily she hasn't cried about it yet. That evenign we went to the house that my aunt and uncle had rented and had a wonderful dinner and some of my grandmas famous red velvet cake!!! YUUUUMMM!! It was great getting to see everyone and visit.
Sunday we decided to take Brinley
fishing off the pier at the condo so that she could catch some "boneheads" :) or hardheads..... but NOTHING was biting. Brinley somehow lost her bait everytime "because she had a bite" oh well she had fun and that is what matters!
After that we decided to go across to Port A and grab some lunch and then head home to make it to evening service and then to try to fix the water pump at the property. We got all but the last accomplished but Herbolds Water Well Service fixed it up on Monday so my cows are happy once again!



Brylen is trying to cut her two top teeth... poor thing she just doesn't understand but hopefully they will pop through in a couple days! she is such a happy baby even when she is going through such pain. When they come through I will get some pics of my baby girl and all four of her teeth ; D Till next time Hugs Kisses and Warmest Wishes!!! XOXO
