Finally Friends!

Ethan and Bailey are now friends! It took 5.5 years but Ethan sat still long enough for Bailey to feel brave. Ethan was watching a cartoon and Bailey came up and laid down next to him. Ethan gently pet him and he decided to lay down, nuzzle Ethan's hand and meow for more attention.

"He's using kitty talk to say he likes me?"

Later Ethan snuck extra kibbles from the cat bowl to feed Bailey out of his hand. Beau came around sooner but he's less cautious! It was definitely a milestone.

Vacation! River Family Reunion: Day 2, 3, &4

Sunday we made matching Tie-Dye shirts as our craft while a lot of the guys went to play golf. We also went swimming and Garrett and Ethan floated down the Frio River. That evening we had a family-wide potluck dinner and watched a movie out on the lawn on a projector.

Monday evening we had a big family campfire with songs, stargazing, and a story about pirates to get the kids ready for a pirate treasure hunt in the morning. We ended the night with a round of games.

Tuesday morning the kids went hunting for pirate treasure! We also swimming and then later went for a swim in the River. That night we had our own campfire to roast marshmallows and ended the evening with a round of games.
