Park Fun!

There was a park within walking distance of Country Woods Inn. We walked along side the Paluxy River but as you can see the river is bone dry. We stayed in Glenrose for a girls trip in February in fact it was when it had snowed and the river was iced over. It’s amazing that the drought has lasted so long. The kids had a great time at the park and we got a great group shot of everyone. The boys were all about the jumping picture, the girls not so much. I tried to get them to jump but Brooke was not having any more pictures, she was ready to get back and get some water. This weekend has been a blast and everyone has played so well together. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of kids.

Happy Birthday Ryan

We had a birthday over the weekend. Ryan turned 13. I can’t believe he is a teenager. I remember when he was a baby and I would make him belly laugh by saying, “Choo Choo.”  He has grown up to be a fine young man. All of the big kids were so great with the little ones. I am so happy to have such wonderful friends and to see all their kids grow up. Happy Birthday Ryan!

Checkers With Daddy

This game table was in our house and daddy was teaching Brooke how to play checkers. We were getting ready to go to a public pool and had some time to kill. We had a great time at the pool. Both of the girls went off of the diving board and were not afraid at all and it was a big diving board. I didn’t take my camera so no pictures at the pool. all of the kids had a great time swimming.
  

Our New Animal Friends

The animals at Country Woods Inn made the whole weekend. Everyone enjoyed petting, brushing,  and feeding all of them. This place is a little slice of heaven.

Grayson loved all the attention


Brooke and Mark the turkeys
Brooke was so excited to see one of the turkeys had her name. She made sure to tell everyone


Ducks were not happy we were there.
 
Sammy the pig would squeal if you pet him. We tried but it never happened.


Lily loved to hang out with everyone and most of all loved for you to pet her.


Ella

 
            Otis the billygoat
  
Ella the sheep wouldn’t get close enough to feed so we had to throw her food on the ground. Otis would have eaten all day if we would have fed him. He was definitely loving the treats and was fine to help himself to the bucket. 
                          

Richard and Ruby the rabbits. The kids loved feeding carrots to the rabbits. Brooke and Presley didn’t understand when they wouldn’t eat their carrots. They were caught yelling, “Eat your carrots bunnies.”


Jake                                                            Luke

The kids loved petting the goats Jake and Luke.

Jake got out one day when the gate blew open and we had to rope him and return him back to his home.

  
Jordan tried his hand at roping but wasn't successful.

This was a great morning. These three kids posed for me all morning and had a blast with all the animals.
My girls will always remember this weekend and I love to see their eyes light up when they talk about the weekend. It truly was a great memory filled weekend.
