School Pictures

School pictures for 2017-2018. The kids are in 6th, 4th and 2nd grades. I know I am a little biased, but I think they are some pretty good-looking kids. ;-) 

Labor Day Weekend - Part 2

So while the boys were out hunting, the girls and I packed the travel trailer and headed west to Abilene State Park. We arrived on Friday evening in time to set up camp and have a little dinner. Saturday morning we explored the park on our bikes and found the playground. We also found the swimming pool, but much to Charlotte's dismay, they had drained the pool of water. After lunch we decided to head into Buffalo Gap (the closest town) for some supplies and we met Brannon and James there after their hunt.  We returned to the campsite for lunch and a bit of playing around and then headed back to Buffalo Gap to the chili cookoff they were having for dinner. We spent the rest of our time at the park on Sunday and Monday playing, hiking, and riding our bikes. We had a huge thunderstorm on Saturday evening, but other than that, the weather was great all weekend.

"I mustache you a question..."

The kids spent lots of time riding around the campsites.

We saw lots of deer!

Fun fact: Charlotte couldn't think of the word "armadillo" so she called them "skeleton turtles"

I'm not sure why sitting on top of my car is so much fun...

Labor Day Weekend - Part 1

Brannon took James on his first bird hunting trip this past weekend near Abilene, TX. They went with Brannon's friend Larry, who is president of NDBT. The boys left on Friday morning and had one hunt that afternoon/evening and then woke up early Saturday morning for a second hunt. James shot 5 birds - not bad for his first hunt! James decided he likes wearing camouflage and they all agreed they would like to make this trip an annual event.
