Frio River

This was our third annual Brown family vacation with Blake's mom, his brother and sister and their families. This year it was the thirteen of us minus Blake as he had just accepted a new job and was in California at training. 

The Frio was one of my favorite getaways because of how immersed we all were in nature with the crisp clear river running just 100 yards from our door. As a bonus, for four straight days, my cell phone didn't register even one bar of reception. The solitude of no phone or iPads solidified that once the kids are adolescents and into electronics like iPads and phones, we will take a trip every summer where there is no way to connect to anything but one another!

The final evening after roasting marshmallows, we all chased fire flies ultimately catching one... That night I added that to my bucket list and quickly checked it off. It was very magical.

Thanks MeMe for a wonderful family vacation where we are able to all be under one roof for several night.
