Spring Break

Ty was able to take off work this year for Spring Break, and we had a wonderful, relaxing week in Marshall. We stayed most of the week out at Ty's brother, Eric's camphouse on Caddo Lake. It was just wonderful to be out where the sky is big, the stars are bright, and the bugs literally sing. It's quiet and just nice. It rained a few nights which made it that much nicer but most days were clear and beautiful to go out on the water. We also spent a good deal of time at Pops and Nonnie's house, and the kids were in kid heaven riding the Rhino and feeding the cows. Casey and Jose were there much of the week and it was great to spend time with them! The kids got to play with Elsie Jane one night, too, and also see Eric and Jill. Both kids wore their cowboy boots everyday and played their little hearts out. Jake did get sick for a few days with what ended up being a sinus infection but he still had fun. I'm blessed that I married into such a great family that always welcomes us with open arms.

One of Pops' friends invited us out to a fish fry one night. They had a beautiful home on a wild game ranch. Here's Grace on the back porch with Aunt Casey and Aunt Judy.

Nonnie helped the kids plant some seeds to take home. They're now starting to bloom!
