Texas Sized Fun

Before we left I grabbed a soda and it said this...duh!


Flying Southwest for the first time...


The girls learning what and how to feed the horses.


Meeting the horses.


Meeting the long horns.



Day two!
We started the day with friends, boating and swimming!


The girls tubing.







Julia tubing alone.




Natalie tubing alone.





Time for a little swimming!






Back to the ranch for chores!



The girls checking out the tractor. 






Gator time!




Fishing with Uncle Allen.




The girls were so tired that at the dinner table they asked to go to bed...and guess what?? They went to bed!



Day Three!

We had so much fun just hanging out today!

They girls in their jammies, jamming to some music.


Julia crashed out listening to music on the way into town.


Found our new poles!


Getting ready for chores, tractor rides and Gator rides!
























Ooops...Natalie threw the cup in!


























First time cooking smores!











Last full day of fun and we were going to do it up right...birthday style!







First, a little gift for the birthday gang.







Starting it off with a little fishing.

Heading to the tank to fish.













Julia reeling in her first fish!







The fish weren't biting for Natalie, but she sure did get good at casting!






Dinner! First use of the new platter!


And after dinner, the birthday cake with just a few candles.



I love Natalie's expression in this one.



I don't think Natalie thought he could do it!



After cake we headed outside.

A little telescope time... 


And some more sugar...smores!


And a few mandatory family shots!




And before we left - the girls rode the yellow tractor!!









It was a fun week! Can't wait to go back!

Puppy Love!

We just love our pup!
