"The Ranch"

I like to call it "The Ranch" like it's a place we always visit.  Like it's our ranch that we visit on the weekends.  I wish.  "The Ranch" belongs to a couple out of Houston who are good friends of the family. I feel very blessed that we got to stay there for a couple of nights.  It was honestly a slice of Heaven on Earth.  The cousins ran away and played without a care in the world while the adults played along or just spent time sipping something nice on the porch.  It was perfect.  Brooks and Delaney were definitely surrounded by everything they love - family, the outdoors, and good food.
Here are some of the Highlights:

  • Celebrating Megan's Birthday
  • Making S'mores by the amazing fire pit/outside kitchen (seriously...amazing)
  • Playing in a 2,000 square ft/ multi-level tree house
  • Riding the Four Wheeler
  • Watching Uncle Craig shoot a snake
  • Fishing
  • Shooting guns
  • Eating steaks (Did I mention that "The Ranch" belongs to the couple that owns The Taste of Texas in Houston - yeah...the steaks came from there.  Yum!)
  • Drinking wine on the porch at night and just star gazing (an adult activity of course)
  • Watching the kids run and play
  • Being with family
  • Having absolutely no schedule and no plans
Here are the pictures to proof it:
