The Bunch is Enjoying Fall

The awesome view from our campsite!

We have been enjoying the nice weather lately. In fact, we headed to Inks State Park for a few days just a couple of weeks ago. We stopped by the Dinosaur Valley State Park on our way down to Inks and were surprised the "river" , really not more than ditch water right now, was so low that the tracks at the rivers bottom were very easily visible. The kids thought the tracks were neat, but had a much better time climbing on the cave at the playground. However, once we arrived at Inks they loved it. The campsites here were huge. Each site was about 1/3 of an acre and we had one right off the lake. The trees were just starting to color for fall and its was picturesque. We found time in our visit to also take a guided tour of the nearby Longhorn Cavern and really enjoyed that as well. This week we enjoyed the State Fair of Texas. Unfortunately for us, it was so busy that it took forever to do anything. We still enjoyed the shows though. The dog agility show and the birds of the world show are always our favorites.

Kids perform during service.

We take at pit stop for a few hours in Glen Rose.

Always posing.

He is ALWAYS photo bombing!

We were hoping to not watch the cliff divers die.

Lots of fun at the state fair.

The Bunch Are Off To A Wonderful 2025 And Are Considering A Change 🤔

It's official, she has a college diploma!! Besides totally enjoying a drama free year, we have been consciously spending time doing things as a family and spending time with each child doing things they enjoy. D has been playing ball and watching movies with his larger "mini me" while A and I have been spending a lot of time in Dallas going to the theatre. A absolutely loves going to see off Broadway productions! I won't be surprised in the slightest if she ends up getting season tickets. Dallas Broadway does a lottery to each show where if they draw your name you have 3 hours to buy tickets for $39 each including all fees! That is an absolute steal! She actually won the lottery on Tuesday so we went that night to see the production of "& Juliet". The seats she won were FANTASTIC! They don't give you cheap seats in the back for the lottery. You win good seats. The seats we ended up with worked out to be only about a quarter of the regular price! We h...

The Bunch Celebrate Christmas

  It's become tradition for T to wear a Santa hat on Christmas. Our Christmas was pretty low key. D was able to go in late so he was able to have Christmas with us before he went to work which was really nice. The kids and I packed up and moved Christmas brunch to C&H's house since he needs to stay close to home and we worried about the lack of emergency care both on the way to our house and while here. I made up a potato casserole ahead of time, brought stuff for garden scrambled eggs, and banana bread while H made a really good cranberry punch and some pigs in a blanket. I have to say for only 5 people we had a ton of food! In fact, T ate so much for brunch I don't think he really ate anything for the rest of the day. He also finished his very last hour of driving on his way back home! Driver's license here we come....next week! After the mess Axl made last time we left him in his crate, we reenforced the doors with zip ties. We also made sure to take him on a wal...

The Bunch Visit Family

  We had fun playing some board games...and it wasn't even a fun jar idea! We just did it because it sounded like fun! The fun jar has been a little slow being implemented this year. T made sure to let me know! We're making up for it next week by drawing several things.  We have had a wonderfully busy week visiting family and getting things done around the house. We went over to my parents house to celebrate Father's Day and while the boys played games with Grandpa, the girls went with Grandma to show her what all the fuss about Trader Joe's is about. She enjoyed looking at all the different things and even found a few gems of her own. It was a nice day and fun to get out together for a little bit. We had a great day!🥰 We picked up Whataburger for my Dad as a treat and my mom made some tots and a side salad up to go with it.💗 We also had a nice long visit with our Aunt P. She's been under the weather and we hadn't had a visit in a couple weeks so it was nice t...
