Ranch - Labor Day 2011

During our 3 Day Labor Day weekend, we traveled down to Austin and then on down to the Ranch for the long weekend with Julie's family.  We had a great time enjoying the beautiful Hill Country, despite it being so dry and warm, we made some good memories. 
Our Cowboy Hiker
Such a happy camper (even if he is getting his 5th tooth)
Looking out the body of Alejandro the Armadillo
Our morning hike up the mountain
Uncle Willie with the boys
Taking a little break
Caleb's favorite part-climbing up the rope
We did it! We did it! We made it to the top (of one clearing)!
Aunt Karen, Uncle Gary, and Lisa drove a quite a long distance just for 24 hours of the Ranch! So fun, they got to meet Davis and love on all the other kiddos.
Aunt Jen and Uncle Tony's kids are SO great with Caleb.  They are patient, understanding, sweet and compassionate.  I pray Caleb learns from his older cousins!
We packed the same outfit that Caleb wore at the Ranch a few years ago on his first trip to the Ranch at 8 months of age.  Can you tell which one is which?
Mimi's 63, I mean 36th Birthday Celebration-what a way to celebrate!
Papa got up with the "chickens" and smoked a brisket for 12+ hours and, boy oh boy was it good!!! It was worth the wait! 
His work area (or surgeon's table)
The Grill Master posing
The back of his shirt says "Never trust a skinny cook" - I guess we were in good hands!
The best babysitters, Christalyn and Sarah
Love this pose!
I had to take advantage of this guy slowing down, smiling, and posing
Caleb looks a little tired
Thanks Mimi and Papa for a great weekend (and Thanks Mammy and MeDad for letting us use the Ranch)! We had a blast!
