we loaded all three kids up a couple of weekends ago and headed west. only an hour and a half down I-10 to a little piece of heaven called eagle's nest (an AMAZING ranch owned by one of my bff's family). i am actually surprised every time i am invited back because they have to get so annoyed by me going on and on about just how amazing it is while i am there :)
you know i am all about leaving the kids behind while i go and fully enjoy myself (and believe me we have had crazy times at the ranch minus little ones) but it was SO much fun watching the kids go totally nuts over every single thing they did while there. old school fun...the best kind.
five minutes after arrival...they are like animals let out into the wild for the first time...
you can't imagine how pretty it is...
this was emery's first trip to the ranch...she loved it :)
you travel everywhere by golf cart (there is like a fleet of them). beckett is already in hog heaven.
you can fish in the little lake that they stock...or go by boat in the big lakes (the property borders the colorado river)...oh...and the boys hunt of course!
play a serious game of poker...
jump on the in-ground trampoline...
emery and taylor are 4 weeks apart...and their older sisters (ellis and avery) are 5 weeks apart. perfect!!
i love babies in a bath together...
just being cute...
emery has shoe envy :)
i think this tree is a record breaker!?! HUGE.
mealtime...
they still snuck in some t.v. time. that monstrosity behind them is the bar. niiiice.
smores.
in the summer, you can take a dip in the pool. the pavilion is still under construction as you can see. even when they add new things @ the ranch (and there is always something new), it looks as if it has been there always.
the game room....love all of the windows...
the bar again :)
the huge kitchen. i could go on and on about the house. it is so picture perfect...i think it sleeps 22 people or something (in just the main house)...then there is another house that sleeps 10 and a "barn" that sleeps a million more. and they are about to build another house. love it!
look at all of the swings!!!
just partying...
ok...this about killed me. we are in the golf cart:
me: what is that over there?
rach: oh...that's just the potting shed. was it not here last time you visited?
me: no. i need to go take a closer look. so what is a potting shed for?
rach: well...to do plants. and we come here in the afternoons to drink wine.
me: of course.
isn't this what your potting shed looks like?
the tree house. the air-conditioned tree house.
w/ walkie talkies :)
how cool right?
what happens in the tree house, stays in the tree house. unless there is proof of it all over your face!
why beckett? why would you let them do this to you? hilarious.
fun times at the ranch!
as always...amazing!!!! and these pictures don't even come CLOSE to doing it justice.
