A couple of weekends ago the Bundschuh Family headed to Bandera to see my Dad. We were just planning on chilling out at the cabin, but what we got was oh so much more. Bandera was holding their annual Wild Hog Explosion Festival. We pull up expecting to see tons of motorcycles or “hogs”, but we we got was a festival that embraced the art of tackling and bagging actual wild hogs. Men, women and children were encouraged to enter a ring and touch or tackle-and-bag pigs of various sizes. I almost had Aaron convinced to give it a try until he saw the event. Those pigs were big and sometimes mean, plus you needed a partner and there was no way in hell I was getting in a dirt filled ring to catch a huge, smelly pig. It was really fun to watch. After all the excitement of the festival, we headed back to the cabin where Aaron set up our tent, yes that’s right the Bundschuh Family was spending the night in a tent. Of course we had not planned on the tornado size winds that night, and after enduring a couple of hours of unbearable nylon on nylon scraping, we abandoned the tent and headed for the unfinished pod. The pod has everything done except the windows and doors so it was quite warm and most of all very quiet. The next morning we woke up to Aidan looking outside the pod and screaming “Oh my gosh! The tent blew down!”
Then last weekend it was hot enough to get the Cervenka’s huge blow up water slide out which kept the kids busy for about 3 hours. With the start of warmer weather the kids are already asking when we are going to the pool. I tried to remind them that last year by the end of summer neither one of them wanted to go to the pool anymore and neither one of them believed me.
On Monday Aidan did the Pledge of Allegiance in front of the whole school. He was very nervous, but managed to do a great job.
Now the grand finale of our weekend, the Lego Space Shuttle. Aaron and Aidan spent two Saturdays putting this beast together. This Lego is designed for 16 and older so Daddie had to assist, but Aidan is so good at building these things Daddie only had to do minor assistance. Basically Daddie was there to keep Aidan focused on this mammoth project. You can check out all photos on Flickr.
