Driftwood Escape

When 2/3 of our kids had a 4-day weekend, we realized it was a great opportunity to sneak away. For 24 hours, we were grateful to have a convenient getaway spot at the Kaye Kompound. It was the first time our little family of 5 had the entire 10-bedroom house by ourselves, and it was enormously lovely.

Upon arrival, Reggie immediately declared herself Queen of the Castle and Nana's master bed as her own.

The water was cold, but the air temperature was hot. This was probably our very last swim of the season. (And by "ours," I mean theirs. This blogger sat out.) Thank you, Nana and Zayde!

We enjoyed a pizza dinner in the veranda.

When Nana's house came with apples that we were told to use, we made apple crisp!

After dinner, we went for an evening stroll, and we were greeted by a Texas Hill Country native citizen. It was so large, we seriously questioned whether it was someone's stranded Halloween costume. Yes, it was alive.



In the morning, Ethan was excited to practice his beginner roller skate skills begun in Driftwood on his birthday a few weeks earlier.


Meanwhile, back in the ranch-

On Day 2, the air temperature was significantly lower, and we chose not to brave the pool. (Other than our feet, that is.)

What happens at Nana and Zayde's house stays at Nana and Zayde's house...shhhhhh.

We headed down the road to the community playground.

Lastly, we went to visit some very friendly neighborhood horses.



Good times had by all!
