Spring Activities

Last weekend we went with our friends to their families house in Wimberly (near Austin). This is the main house. We stayed in a bunk house to the side. It was in the woods and very nice.

Mark relaxing with Witnie and Luke. This was Mark's favorite spot.
There is a fishing pier of the river at the back of the property.

Maddie was very excited to finally catch a fish. She caught the first one.

Sydnie was also successful.

Witnie's favorite part was actually throwing them back in.

Here is Mark's big catch.

We had a picnic on the edge of this river and of course the kids couldn't help exploring...

...Maybe because they are related to these guys.

We went to a butterfly festival in town.

These girls really want a bunny.

There were tons of butterflies raised in cages and then turned loose.

We went to Brazos Bend a couple weekends ago.

This was a really big guy.This one was pretty little.

Maddie had a field trip at the zoo.

They had a few animals out the kids could pet.

She's not quite as big as a gorilla yet.

Spring Break Activities

On Thursday we were going to go on a train ride and too the zoo. It was so crowded we just left and went to the Houston Arboretum instead.

On Tuesday we went to the Blue Bell Creamery, which I didn't take my camera in for. I have to get some pictures from my friend. Then we went to this place to see miniature horses.

All the kids we went with.

Utah

On my trip to Utah I only pulled out the camera once.

Witnie didn't even want to touch the pony, let alone ride it.

Aneti was the only one not scared of the pony.

I got to tour the Grand Canyon from above.

Hiking

I forgot to post these pictures from a couple weeks ago. We haven't been doing much lately since I don't feel well. Sydnie did get her cast off though.

Maddie is just like her dad.

Witnie liked the buffalo

Armadillos and deer enjoyed this field.

We saw more armadillos than we have ever seen before.

Rough Week

On Tuesday Witnie pushed Sydnie and she fell on her arm wrong. She had her arm splinted in a sling.
You can see the crack on the upper bone to the left.

Here she is after she got a hard cast on Thursday.

On Friday Witnie decided to jump off the couch and hit her face on the coffee table. After another trip to the urgent care, Witnie came home with 2 stitches.

But it will take a lot more than that to keep her from icecream!

Happy New Year

We decided to go to the beach for New Year's Day.

It was pretty windy, so Sydnie decided to chill in the bike trailer for awhile because it was warm.

The winter time after a storm is the best time to find shells.

Sparklers with Deki.
