Enchanted Rock

So, we get a few extra holidays here in San Antonio. One is the Battle of the Roses. I have no idea what it is about and had no interest to look it up this year, so we just enjoyed the break from school. We got an extra Friday off school the week before Good Friday. There were a few ladies in the ward who wanted to hike Enchanted Rock. It is a national park and is a fun place to camp and go repelling. My sister's family went for their spring break and I heard it was a lot of fun. So us moms decided to take our kids (19 in all) and have a picnic, then hike up the rock. It took about 45 minutes to drive to Fredricksburg (I think), then we ate and started hiking. All the kids did great! It is literally a gigantic boulder that you hike. There wasn't a lot of shrubbery and other obstacles, so that was nice for the kids. It was a gradual climb so that was also nice. On part was a little scary when you have to climb a few boulders to reach the flatter surface again, but other than that it was great! It was super, mega windy at the top, but there were craters with water in them to play around for a bit. We had a blast and will definitely do it again, maybe with out of town visitors...:)
