Fifth Annual UtopiaFest!

We had a great time at the end of September at the fifth UtopiaFest!


Rachel got dressed up as a fancy pink cowgirl

We love seeing lots of family at the fest.

Uncle Travis' band did a great job during the Thursday night pre-party

Owen was ready to rock with the kids performance Friday morning.

We got to enjoy it with lots of cousins!

Rachel was ready to rock as well.

Craft time is always a hit

Some people may not have enjoyed the rain.  Rachel and Owen loved it...and they didn't even have to pay $3 for the showers.

Saturday was beautiful!  We kicked off in style with the bagpipes.

Owen is getting to be a big boy

Henry liked to relax on his blanket under the tent

Rachel got a fun Barbie kite and loved flying it.

Owen got a turn, too.  He did surprisingly well with the kite.

Fossils!

We loved spending the weekend with Aunt Dawn, Mimi and the rest of the crew.

We had perfect weather after the rain cleared out.

The kids all fell asleep outside so we got to enjoy some of the night performances on Saturday as well.

More cousin love

Henry enjoyed visiting with Grammy

Rachel ended our visit right about where she started it.

Reunion Weekend in Utopia

The second weekend in June, we headed to Utopia for the Fisher reunion.

Rachel got dressed up to celebrate Whitney becoming a doctor.

Beautiful sunset

Enjoying time in the yard.

Relaxing on the porch.

Rachel "test-tasted" (according to her) the fajitas for dinner.

They were delicious!

Henry enjoying time with Granny

Wes ferried lots of kids around in the boat.

Henry loved being down by the river.

 

Fun times with cousins.

Henry also loved spending time being held by Aunt Diane.

Uncle Travis is so fun!

Sweet boys in their matching outfits

Almost a good picture of all three.

Wes had less luck getting a good picture with the boys.

Daddy even gave her a demonstration.

We always love going to the reunion in Utopia.  We are already looking forward to next year!

Christmas with Wes' Family

Between Christmas and New Year's, we had great visits with family in Dripping Springs and Utopia.


It was fun to see everyone again.


Rachel and Owen both got lots of fun presents.  Rachel enjoyed her new tutu.


Owen loved playing with Emily.

Then, opening more presents with Jonathan and Conner at Granny's house


Jonathan is a very good big brother and cousin


So much fun stuff!

Owen loved playing in the leaves

Rachel's favorite is the tire swing

We visited Granny and took Old Blue for a drive in the dreary weather.

Turkeys!

Feeding the fish

Throwing out corn for the deer

Owen wants to learn to drive...he has a little growing to do before he can reach the pedals.
