Cute glasses!

Playing at the river

Gracie caught her first fish with her brand new princess fishing pole.
Thanks to Uncle Leroy for the pole and the fishing lessons!
All the guys on the river were envious of Gracie's catch!
Having fun in the dune buggy

Awesome fireworks!

I love this picture with the fireworks and the illuminated river rocks.

Nice picture Douglas!
There were so many big bugs and beautiful butterflies.

After Gracie's graduation we packed to go camping. On friday morning we drove to Pandale, TX on the Pecos river. Riley, my father in law was invited by his good friend, Jim to join them camping over memorial day weekend. I say camping, but we were actually in air conditioned cabins with electricity and running water. So we were a little spoiled. It was so beautiful! We met some new friends(especially Gracie),we played in the river, went canoeing, fishing, had BBQ, homeade ice cream and watched some incredible fireworks! Riley's friend, Jim sells fireworks and supplies us with them every 4th of July and New Years. He put on an amazing show and even Marley loved it, but only from the safety of the car.
The kids loved running free and having freedom to play all day. They loved driving on the dirt roads and playing in the river. We had a great time!
