Salado Wedding

During Spring Break we took a road trip to a small town of Salado to see the daughter of a friend get married. When I heard it was an outdoor wedding I was thinking really, do people do that in Texas? But better now than in the summer! We fell in love with Salado! Such a quaint little town, fun shops, and then the Inn we stayed at was fabulous!

If you ever go, The Inn on the Creek is a must place to stay
It used to be a distillery during the Civil War
Love all the antiques in this place

We were not sure what the bathroom sink was doing outside the bathroom itself but here it is! 

  
 So relaxing
 Love the hammocks by the creek.  It used to be even prettier but the last hurricane did quite a bit of damage to the banks.
 Nothing like a wrap around porch to say...slow down and smell the roses!
 Resident pet in the middle of a meow!
 The parlor
 Our friends, Jonathan & Maria Young also stayed with us at the Inn 
 I can't even begin to describe this fabulous croissant, so flaky on the outside and super yummy on the inside.  Seriously, the best I've had! If only there was chocolate on the inside...

 We had so much fun with the Youngs!


 We also visited a local Tea Room
 Oh, the reason we came....Samantha & Wesley saying their vows




 Mr. & Mrs. Wesley Rogers
 The Groom's Cake....need I say more??? Brilliant! This German Chocolate Cake was to die for!
 The wedding planners, Lennie, Mother of the Bride, and her sidekick
 This was such a fun idea for the guests...they had boa, tiara, and all kinds of hats to pose with.
 The Bride's cake and cupcakes
 Just so we knew we were there!
 Partners in crime
 Niece & flower girl, Savannah, and her lovely mom, Micah, also Matron of Honor
 Father of the Bride and her nephew, Luke
 Wedding parties...sorry, I did not capture them all. So pretty with all different shades of green!
 The happy couple!
 Back of Sam's dress! 
Cheers you two...may God bless you both with many years together! And thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Lots of Fun On The Farm

It's Rodeo time in Houston once again! As time has gone on, Caris is able to enjoy a little more of all the events.  This year we focused in on Fun On The Farm because it's so interactive with kids her age.  We couldn't see her doing the Pony and Camel Rides or Mutton Bustin' on her own just yet! But maybe next year.  Only in Houston do we put up with Rodeo Traffic for 2 weeks, put our boots on, and get our hee haw on! 

And these lil' piggies went to the Rodeo 


 Daddy of course had to stop and check out how tough the Ford trucks were!


 We saw camels
 Sheep or is it sheeps?
 Turkey Leg, yes please!

We fed the chickens 

 Got some eggs
 We planted bell peppers

 Planted some carrots

 Baaaa!
 Moooooo!
 Got milk?
 Why, yes we do!

 Picked some peaches
 Rode on a tractor
 Took a break on the farm
 Then back to work
 Met Farmer Joe
 Sorted some vegetables

 Earned our wage
 Got some munchies

 There were spotted cattle and Wilbur, but we were more interested in the chips of course!


This won't be our first time to the Rodeo.
