First, I need to revise my statement about having an anti-climatic 4
th of July. We went to the Falconer's house for brunch where Natasha served a
smorgasbord of delicacies, including a yummy baked french toast dish that I need the recipe for. So here is a picture of the
highlight of the day:)
We had to go to the Flying W Ranch while everyone was here. It's just what you do. Besides, it had been a few years since our last time and we had to refresh our memory as to just how bad that boiled beef and chicken "BBQ" really are:) The rest of it is good though!
According to Skylar,
Granstud is hilarious. We knew he was a stud, but we didn't know he was
this funny:
Erica looked so cute all dolled up like a cowgirl!
She liked carrying Skylar around, and Skylar loved it too.
Walking around town with
Granbabe:
The boys weren't quite as excited about the Native
American dancing as we were:
Andy was hoping there would be a gift shop so he could get a genuine cowboy
souvenir. Imagine his relief when he discovered every building had one!
Hmmmm....beans.....
Skylar enjoyed the show for about 15 minutes until she got too cranky and we took her home. They really are talented musicians.
Here's a shot of Skylar's first ponytail. She looked like a big girl for the 5 minutes it stayed in.
Gayle modeled her bargain: A turquoise suede jacket with fringe and bedazzles....only 5 dollars (originally $190). In the end it was too hot to wear to the Flying W. Oh well......
We celebrated birthdays at Kristy and Andy's house. Micah and Squirt were reunited. Anyone who knows Micah knows that he loves kitties more than anyone you will ever meet. He's been known to pull over the car and chase one through a field to pet it. It's actually a little obsessive......and creepy......and endearing.
Everyone wanted a piece of Squirt. That's a lot of hands for a very small cat.
Bill opening his gifts:
Kristy didn't conceal her enthusiasm. Sorry Kristy....I just love this picture.
Kristy did perk up when it was time to light candles. Then she cut the cake into
pieces the size of our heads as demonstrated below:
So we had a great, whirlwind visit with the Rue/Evans clan! We look forward to doing it again someday. In the meantime, we are hanging out with the Riley's and then off to South Carolina!
