Round Top is an hour or so east of Austin and is best known for its twice yearly antique weekends. On these weekends in April and October the town swells from a population of 90 to 100,000+. Harold and Larry are two of Round Top’s 90 permanent residents. Harold is my mom’s cousin and sister to Sondra (see the entry for April 11). Unfortunately Harold was at work during our visit but Larry and the girls took great care of us all weekend. Angie, Jamie, Nicole and Casey were all over on Saturday and Sunday with their families. The kids all had a blast playing together. We went fishing in the pond on the back of their property and took the quads out looking for snakes – unfortunately we didn’t find any. Larry was able to help the kids locate a scorpion that they could keep as a souvenir. They, of course, wanted it kept alive and were envisioning it as more of a pet. Can you imagine the 6 kids having a pet scorpion tucked away in the RV? Not a chance in the world that was going to happen so we put it not so humanely to death before bringing it aboard our traveling home. We made some great memories on this stop and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We definitely don’t get to see this part of our family enough but it makes us cherish the visits we do get that much more.
