A country boy's world: An ol' dirt road and the smell of wildflowers on the summer wind; a bite of homeade ice cream and a glass of Momma's sweet tea; a glowin' field of fireflies and the big bright open Texas sky.

Wimberley Texans Parade

Do your boys play sports? Do they play football? The two highlight questions since moving here to Wimberley.
 The town of Wimberley is on a huge high, and rightly so they should be.  They had perfect season and won State! We wish we had been here for the game-- we left SC the day they played for the State Title--but we sure are glad we made it in time for the celebrations!!

The town of Wimberley literally shut down for a couple of hours on Saturday, January 7th to celebrate this huge win and recognize ALL those involved to help get these boys there.  It was neat for our family, new to the community, to see just how close knit the Town of Wimberley is: a big family!


Well, below ere are a few parade pictures!!

Here they come!


 
Dustin and the boys were glued to the Texans season as soon as we knew we were moving to Wimberley. So even though we weren't officially moved in, we  felt a part of what was going on.  



Just can't wait to see my boys in a parade!



We found a spot to watch as they went by. :) As we were waiting, I got to chat with a really sweet couple. They were from Houston. They had family here and had come to be a part of the celebration. They were considering moving our way soon. I know they will LOVE it!

Here come the cheerleaders.


 
Awesome band!


 
Texans football team!


 
You can't really see him, but the gentleman speaking is Wimberley’s mayor, Mayor Bob Flocke. Well, this morning on the way to school, Cade said, “I like our mayor. He helped clean up and actually worked after the parade."  Wow! Way to go Mayor! You just made an impression on the   youth of Wimberley. You are leading by example!


 
Good looking trophies!


All that excitement made us hungry....good thing we were surrounding by Wimberley's dining.



 
We are loving Wimberley! Everyone we meet is so nice and makes us feel right at home. We just feel so blessed to be here.



Until my next post.........
