34 pictures in one post? And that doesn't even begin to cover all of them! I tried to pick out a few that covered the basic fun that we had a few weeks back while our family was visiting us. As an overview, we played on the ranch, played on the lake, played with the kids and did some fabulous cooking.
It was especially fun to watch the kids play with their cousins! It's been a while since we've seen these guys, and kids change SO fast! But they are all at ages now where they understand that they are family and they all play super good together.

| Isabel was thrilled to have another girl around! Her and Clara enjoyed having their hair done at night into princess braids. |
 |
| Aunt Myrt driving around all our monkies |
 |
| Buffy was a popular activity. Here the kids are brushing her. She's a sucker for attention! |
 |
| One of our main activities was boating. With temps in the upper 90's the whole time, the water gave us some much needed relief from the heat. |
 |
| My girl E. She started off the boating season not really wanting to have that much to do with the water. But she sures likes the ride! |
 |
| Here is James, Wyatt, Ben and Clara enjoying a tube ride! |
 |
| Another popular activity with all the kids was bike riding! I came outside to find Wyatt riding James' bike - just like a big boy! I guess Ben inspired him to give it a whirl (even though he couldn't really reach the pedals!) |
 |
| The Brisket! |
 |
| This sucker cooked up on Memorial day.... results to come. |
 |
| Our traditional picture of the kids. My how they have grown! See previous pictures here and here. |
 |
| Having Ben around really motivated Isabel to get good and fast on her bike too! |
 |
| James, meanwhile, kept JL and Uncle Matt busy with playing catch as much as he could. |
 |
| Ah, shade! |
 |
| Little Watermelon to complement the Brisket. |
 |
| Tah dah! |
 |
| There it is - and it was GOOD! |
 |
| Later that afternoon, we were back on the lake! Finally - Isabel got in the tube! |
 |
| Apparently, a tube ride was all E needed. Here she is swimming all by herself to the shore to check out shells with the boys! |
 |
| We were all so proud of her! She made it - no problem! |
 |
| Aunt Myrt giving ol' June Bug a try. |

How fun to have cousins to play with. Looks like the "visitors" really got an excellent chance to enjoy the Ranch and all the fun stuff that goes along with it.
