Playing ball with Daddy.
This past weekend we went to Graham Texas to visit my cousins Chad and Christy and their families. Our trip started off by us driving an hour out of our way. Luckily we still arrived a little before lunchtime :) We visited with Christy's family for awhile and then we all headed out to Chad and Kim's house out on the Herring Ranch. The first thing we did was go see the horses. I was a bit disappointed. Hannah has been in love with horses since she was 18 months old and she was super excited about getting to ride with her cousins. When we got there she got on for about 2 minutes and then wanted off. She didn't like everyone watching her. Hailey didn't ride and neither did Hayden. We watched the bigger kids ride, which was fun itself. Then Colt got on one of the cows and rode him around. (pretty crazy to me). Hayden decided he wanted to ride the cow. So, on he went. The cows body was wider than Hayden's little legs. I don't have a picture as of now, but I am hoping my cousin will send it my way.

After riding the horses ( and cow ), we headed over to the ranch house. The kids played while lunch was being grilled. Between baseball, the trampoline, slide, bikes, dress up and all the other fun activities, the kids had a great time. The kids had 6 of their cousins to play with, so they were in heaven. After a "late" lunch we all get ready and drove into Wichita Falls for Colts baseball game. The game started at 6 and wasn't over until 9:15. I didn't realize little kid games lasted that long, and they only play 6 innings. Lets say my kids were starving. We stuffed all the snacks we had in them to keep them happy. Colts team won!! They have the championship game today. On the way home from the game we stopped at Arbys and carried on. It was an hour from the Ranch, so we didn't want to go inside to eat. We arrived back at Christy and Chris' about 11:25 and we bathed Hayden since he was covered in dirt. (The last 45 minutes of the game he decided that being covered in dirt was the best way to entertain himself and others. he would lay down and try to bury himself like the kids do at NRH2O). We got everyone in bed by 12. It was a long, but very fun night. The kids still woke up at 7:15. And day 2 began........
