Annual Bluebonnet Pictures

Hail Storm

We had severe weather yesterday and made the news! It was reported penny size hail for our town. I took pictures! It quickly turned into pea size.

Of course, it didn't matter what size it was officially. We enjoyed it! We are weather freaks and love all kinds of weather even if it is a bit scarey at times. Our favorite pastime is lying in the dark on the bed with all blinds/curtains open just watching it rain, storn, lightening, whatever it may be. If you have not tried it, I highly recommend it!!!

Spring Break 2009

We headed out March 17th, Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day(yes, we all had our green on)with our friends, The Cooper's.

We made a pit stop at the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainseville. It just happened to be Frank Buck's Birthday and it was crowded! The kids had fun stretching their legs. Ryan even started pointing out all the animals.

Our Destination...

Lake Murray, Oklahoma Buzzard's Roost Lodge
We made it to the cabin and we were excited to see it was huge. I call it a lodge not a cabin. We had lots of room for everyone!!!

We had even more room outside. We had our own private dock and lots of room to roam around. The kids had lots of fresh air and sunshine the whole week!!! It did rain one morning and sprinkled on our last day, but we didn't mind one bit!

Sara was in Heaven. She played hard and had a great time.

We had a lot of fun activities...horshoes, fishing, kayaking, frisbee's, kites, walking, hiking, shooting peas with a slingshot and many other cool things.

We went for a walk around the park in search of Sara's "Toe-Bears." She was sure to find one! We did see deer crossing the road with us. Three deer even walked up to our camp while we were playing horeshoes.

Price-less!!

Ryan felt at home, baby gate and all.

Ryan had so much fun running around and exploring outside.

Boy, this is the life!

Charles took all the kids out in the kayak. Even Ryan! Kevin took it out all by himself. I can't believe how old he is getting. I am happy to report no one was dumped into the lake.

We had a rough start this year(I know it is only March). This trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. No laundry, no hum-drum schedules! Enjoying the outdoors was the perfect thing!

The Cooper's made it even more special!

Everyone is trying to put on a smile because they don't want to go home, yet. I am always the only one ready to come home before our "vacations" are over. But we all had a great time! We are trying to figure out what we want to do next!!!

Today is...

a day to celebrate! My sweet little angel turns 8 years old.
Gosh! That is priceless!!!
Such a beautiful girl!
