Trip To Texas: Family Reunion

The reason we went on our most recent trip to Texas was for a family reunion on Kyle's side.

The reunion was in Glen Rose, TX. Right across the street from where we were staying was a river the kids could play in.

They had fun playing with cousins they don't see very often.

Here are all the great grandkids of Kyle's grandmother.

David wanted to play ball with the big kids.

On Saturday we went to the Dinosaur Valley State Park for our activity.

 The kids played in the river there and saw big dinosaurs and their tracks.

Once we got back to the reunion the kids played water games with their cousins.

Aunt Trisha had to explain to Landon (who was pitching in kickball) that he shouldn't throw so hard to the little kids. He was serious about winning.

The reunion ended with a late night campfire and smores. We had a great time at the reunion and enjoyed seeing family we haven't seen in a long time. Hopefully we will have these reunions more often so that our kids will know these cousins better.

A walk in the park (Springtime in Colorado)

It is finally starting to warm up here in Colorado (except in the afternoons when the wind kicks up).

So we decided to take Trixie to the park for a walk.

I took the opportunity to take some spring pictures while we were there. Here is a picture of the crane that hangs out at the pond. I wish I had had my zoom lens to get a closer look.

I caught a bee on a tree blossom.

I love springtime. I love when things start turning green after the winter.

I hope the warm weather continues.

Chickens Growing Fast and New Coop

Our Chicks are growing fast and are ready to move to their new home.

Kyle and the boys have been working like crazy to get the chicken coop completed this week.

This is one of my favorite chickens. I think she is so pretty.

Hopefully we will be able to move the chickens tomorrow to the coop before we head out of town.

Spring Break just Landon and I

Landon stayed at home with me while the big boys went on the hike during Spring Break.

We went to the park, went to the movies (we watched the Croods), went out for ice cream and just chilled at home. 

I know he missed his brothers by the third day. After all, he isn't used to being an only child.

I enjoyed our time together. It was a relaxing Spring Break.
