A Cowboy Weekend

We took a mini trip this weekend out to the Cowboy Capital of the World, Bandera Texas. Our friends the Trussel's live out there at the Flying A Ranch. Their little guy Brady was having his third birthday party and we wanted to be there to celebrate. We headed out early Friday morning and made a quick stop at the outlet mall in San Marcos. We got to the ranch mid afternoon and it was nice and toasty..most of us walked away with a little pink tint from our time outside. After we got settled in the boys got busy doing boy things while the girls headed into town for a little shopping. Jaxson had a blast throwing rocks into the creek and scaring away the fish.

He had a little help fishing and even caught a little fish, which we tossed back in.


After the sun went down the fish went to sleep, we hung around at the creek listening to the frogs. It is so peaceful and beautiful out there! Saturday morning Scott got up early to meet up with Brent for a drive around the ranch. Scott had a blast and even had a chance to shoot of some of Brent's guns. After they were done playing we took a quick trip into town to kill some time at some of the local shops. The boys look too cute in their cowboy hats.

Jaxson of course wanted a new pair of boots, I think we'll wait until his feet slow down on growing before we make that investment.

After our little outing we headed back to Brady's house for his big birthday party. Jaxson immediately jumped in this Lightning McQueen car and drove it until the battery died! He was in heaven with all of the toys. Everyone else's toys are always more cool!

Brady had the coolest cake ever- a Toy Story cake and it was delicious!
Our little mini trip was a lot of fun! It was great to catch up with good friends, enjoy the beautiful country and do something different for a change. I think Bandera will be seeing more of us for sure!
