The Stars at Night.....

That song (Deep in the Heart of Texas) has been in my head for weeks now! We're here, and I can't believe it's almost time to head back to Arkansas. It's been a great break for us and a great time with family. We had the joy of bringing a couple of our friends with us, too! Of course we had to teach them the words to Deep in the Heart of Texas because they kept messing it up! We kept telling them that TX wasn't really like in the movies, but we haven't exactly done a great job of dispelling that myth! Jamie wanted to milk a cow and ride a horse and generally have a "farm experience!" Easy to do at my folks' house. Horse ride-good, working cows- traumatic experience! She didn't know all the nastiness that comes with working cows! Then at church on Sun, it was the annual picnic day, and instead of the usual praise music, they had bluegrass! So Texan! It's not hard to find cowboy hats and boots in Fairfield!

Fairfield was a blast. Got to eat some yummy food, headed to Aggieland to see how much it's changed in the last couple of years and see Rebecca, and just got to hang with the fam. Worked a little at the strawberry patch, but probably ate more than we sold! Love those berries! Wish some could have made it home with me.

Now we're at Chris's parents house. We've relaxed a lot here and rode backroads on the 4 wheelers. Let me just say how adorable Joshua is riding! He rides up front with his daddy, hands on the handlebars, thinking he's driving! Too cute! Today is our last day here. Tomorrow it's off to camp back in the hills of AR. Chris's family is coming with us. Supposed to be beautiful camping weather! Can't wait! Thankfully, a few more days before back to the real world.....
