Texas Vacation, The Farm

We arrived back at the farm on Monday afternoon, and the next two days were filled with board games, puzzling, riding vehicles, playing outside, shooting and exploring. It was such a nice time escaping reality and spending quality time with friends.  

Brooke gave me a tour of the property. 

Matt drove me around some too. I was very content being the passenger princess. 

These girls are trouble when they're together. The personalities match so well, but we worry about them when they go off on their own, ha!

Brooke and I pulled out a puzzle while the boys were playing/working.

There was a huge storm that moved in Tuesday around lunchtime. We rushed back and got everything in shelter and then sat on the porch and watched the storm.

This was actually one of my favorite memories, hearing the rain, watching the trees and visiting with some of my favorite people. 

Tuesday afternoon we pulled out the guns. 

It was the sweetest thing when Wyatt took the time to help Katherine shoot. 

Tuesday evening we drove into town to take Matt out for a birthday dinner. I surprised him with a cheesecake for dessert. 

This is a table full of people who fill my tank. Love them all!

We came back and finished our puzzle!

Wednesday morning we packed and cleaned and said goodbye to the farm. There is a tradition to take a photo at the gate. Since Joe and Robin couldn't come back to the farm with us, the girls made posters of them, so they could be in the picture. 

Our week with friends exploring Texas was such a treat. Spending quality time with our friends in some of their favorite places and watching our kids play and be free and their friendships deepen is something I'll remember forever. We're so thankful for such dear friends and are looking forward to our next joint family vacation.
