july 4th weekend

the weekend of july 4th, we went to Horseshoe Bay (outside Austin) for some r and r! Well as much rest as you can get with twin almost 2 year olds. :) We made a stop at Richey's cousin's ranch for the girls to run around. They have a caboose on their land! It used to be at a McDonalds and is still full of boxes with old McD toys (Burgler combs, crayons, a wooden Grimace that waves, etc!). It was so fun!

The girls getting their goodies!

Reese wearing her Grimace glasses. :)

Sassy Riley face. they didn't want to stop... ha

Then we loaded back up to hit the road. Our new dual screen DVD player was a lifesaver. :)

I got R and R Puddle Jumpers for the pool. They're a bit big, but I'm a huge fan! The girls are too.

Riley swimmin like a fishy

Reese LOVES the pool. Every day she says to me, "Go. Pool." Her favorite thing to do is jump off the side- brave girl!

The girls REALLY wanted in the pool when I made them stop to take this pic. ha! They LOVE their life jackets- they call them "Broby" because they think it looks like the Yo Gabba Gabba character. :)

love this! Reese and Riley made buddies with the kids in front of us, oh and the people behind us... Reese kept laying on their blanket. My kids are quite social... haha!

Some more dancing before fireworks began.

The girls loved the fireworks! They kept saying, "Die! Die! (aka: sky sky- haha) BOOM!" It was FUN weekend with wonderful friends!
