September 2010:
We decided to take Labor Day weekend and travel up with our trailer to our favorite spot - Bandera, Texas!! (Yes, it is the Cowboy Capital of the World!!) We took Abby's friend, Jamie, for a good-bye trip (Jamie has moved on to better places!!) We really miss Jamie and the laughter she brings! Both Abby and Jack love being with her!!
Labor Day weekend in Bandera is packed full of Cowboy and Old West activities - "Pa" was in heaven!!
They have a saying "Only in Bandera..." Well - Only in Bandera can you see long horn parades!! Obviously the kiddos were totally bored waiting for the parade to start!!
Mimi and Papa met us there to watch the Parade and celebrations. Thanks for meeting us there!!
Pretty cute buckaroo!!
The last night we went to an Indian Pow Wow - it really was amazing - the outfits were beautiful. They had a circle and invited all veterans to participate in the ritual. They all marched around the circle and it is believed to relieve the people participating of all their wounds, both physical and spiritual, of war. It was really cool - Frederick had a good time.
When we got home from our trip - we celebrated Frederick's birthday - he is getting old:)
I don't know why they can't all smile nicely for a family picture!! They better watch out - this may be our Christmas card:)
