down by the river

memar and papa live on a GORGEOUS piece of land on the guadalupe river. when they first built their house, they were one of the only ones around. we would go on long walks and see a house here or there, but mostly just open fields with beautiful trees. almost 30 years later, there's a lot more homes and people, but it remains breathtaking.

mason learned firsthand what kind of fun my sisters and i had visiting memar and papa's house. playing on the porch, running around like a wild man, and of course, swimming in the river. thanks, pappy, for handling the river swimming!
