Memorial Day at the Ranch

We had a three-day weekend, so of course, we headed down to the Hill Country to enjoy the Ranch with Mammy and MeDad.  We stopped at Mimi and Papa's on Friday night to break up the drive and were at the Ranch on Saturday afternoon.  We had a quick day and a half of the beauty, fun with family, and exploring.  It seems like all of our Ranch Trip pictures are looking the same-riding the mule, taking hikes, and playing in the water.  Such fun and adventurous things to do in the middle of nowhere!
Taking a family hike with Daddy (Davis fell asleep in the wrap the first 5 minutes)
Cooling down after nap time. Caleb wanted to wash the truck. 
Love Daddy and MeDad relaxing on the porch
Something summery about drinking out of a water hose, especially when it comes out of a natural spring behind the house-yummy! 
A splash in the pool 
A few rides in the mule.  It was a tradition for Caleb to take a ride with Mammy and MeDad after breakfast all bundled up in a blanket!  Thanks for the memories! 
Getting stronger and more daring on the "Ip-Ine"
Playing on the tractors
Chillin' with Davis 
Two happy boys LOVING the Ranch
A cowboy tennis player 
Caleb's new thing: tennis
This little guy was all smiles at the Ranch-He LOVED it!
Mammy is feeding the bird-such a cute picture 
Caleb's photography skills-Not bad
    
Caleb was SO tired on the way home-this is how he slept and it is rare that he sleeps in the car these days and he took TWO naps during the 7 hours!
We just LOVE the Ranch and feel so blessed when we get to make memories down there.  Thanks Mammy and MeDad for making it so special.  We look forward to the next 3 day weekend (Labor Day) with Julie's Family.
