Labor Day Part 2: Dripping Springs

On Sunday, we spent the day at GranDave and Mimi's house visiting with them, the Martins and the Rays.  We had a great time and lots of yummy food.


Owen enjoyed sitting on the porch swing with Mimi.


It looked like so much fun that several more grandkids came to join in for the ride.

Uncle Travis took that opportunity to have a turn on the new play set.


Rachel enjoyed her watermelon even though it was very juicy and a bit messy.


Owen was excited to meet Aunt Dawn and Uncle Duane for the first time.


The new play set was a big hit with all of the kids.


Rachel had fun playing with her cousins.


Even Owen got to take a turn on the slide.


Rachel was sad when it was time to leave.  She gave everyone sweet hugs and kisses before they left.



On the way back to Houston, we had to detour around the wildfire in Bastrop.  It was amazing seeing how big the fire had gotten (based on the huge amounts of smoke) when there had been no problems when we drove through the day before.  Our prayers go out to all of those who are affected, particularly one of Wes' cousins on the Sutherland side who lives in Bastrop.
