Thanksgiving at the Ranch

Thanksgiving at the ranch was lots of fun. Grayson is at the age that he can really enjoy the surroundings out there. The road trip down was pretty nice...Conley refrained from the constant screaming he did on our last trip to the ranch last May, and we stopped over in Fredericksburg for a stretch and some lunch. They had all of the Christmas decorations out already and it was fun to walk around.







Memaw, Pawpaw, and Willow were waiting for us when we arrived and greeted us with open arms and a few sniffs all around.



Grayson enjoyed riding the tractor with Pawpaw and Conley enjoyed his first ride in the Mule.

We went for a hike across the ranch and Grayson had fun playing with his stick sword and finding an empty turtle shell along the way.



Our ride home was not as calm as the ride down. Conley was not a happy camper and would not take a nap. About 2-1/2 hours into the ride home, when we stopped for a potty break and some snacks we found out why! That poor baby had a big poopy diaper and his little bottom was just stewing in it! Tell me I didn't feel like a lousy mommy! The whole time I just kept saying that he was so tired and he'll fall alseep soon - boy was I wrong! But, we did make it home safely and it was nice to have seen the family, even if our time together was short.
