We arrived Saturday afternoon to this beautiful sight. Brian and his dad BUILT this house. It was amazing. Everything was so quite and even the country air smelled good.
Brian had a wedding to attend in Fredericksburg so we followed him into town. We walked and shopped a little before having dinner at a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant had cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. I was excited.
Sunday morning we woke up and took a tour of Brian's ranch. We visited goats and sheep, jumped off the porch 1000 times, rode the 4 wheeler, rode in the golf cart, ate grilled hamburgers and homemade strawberry cake, went for a run, and swang on a tree swing.
After all that, we headed to Brian's other ranch and took a tour. It was 2000 acres, so the tour took quite a while. We saw cows, a working water windmill, and lots of cacti. We also walked or swam in a little stream. The twins thought it was great.
We fed the kids an early dinner and then let them watch a movie while the adults ate. I could have stayed much, much longer. I really enjoyed being in the country and all of the fun my kids got to have. We will have to go visit again and SO appreciate Brian's hospitality.
Monday morning we headed to Austin. We ate at The Cheesecake Factory. So good! Then we headed to Pflugerville to hang out with Aaron and Ashley. The kids played the Wii and jumped on the trampoline all afternoon. Once Dana and Caleb got home, we went to eat at Chuy's. It was a short visit but good to see the Whitmire family (most of them).
On Tuesday we travelled home.
We had such a good time.
I agree I love the country life and all that it pertains. I miss it so much at times. Looks like a wonderful house and an awesome ranch.
