July.....its hot!

We continued to play in the pool and inside when days were too hot to be out.

Camp Buschman

This was the inaugural year for Camp Buschman and we had so much fun that we will hopefully do it for years to come.  Camp Buschman was a weeklong adventure at the ranch with Tia, Wyatt, Evie, Sarah, Hannah and me along with and Nanny and Pappy.  I helped plan themed days, along with corresponding arts and crafts and activities. Tia was number one assistant and kid wrangler.

 Nanny and Pappy greeted us with a homemade sign.

 The first full day was Cowboy Day.  We had with a horseshoe hunt, where we were met by Cowboy Pappy.

 The real deal.

 Uncle Clayton

We had organized fun accessories for all the kids... monogrammed shirts, backpacks, hats, and gear like binoculars and walkie talkies.

 The next day was Indian Day.  Chief White Ryno came down for one day/night and met us first thing in the morning, dressed for the part and with face paint and tomahawks for the rest of the crew.

 We made rain sticks out of paper towel rolls and our rain dance worked because that afternoon/evening we had a huge storm roll through, complete with a post storm double rainbow.

 The final theme day was Texas Day and our troops hunted for antlers and fed and rode the horses.  That afternoon we drove into town, got treats at DQ, and then stopped for pictures by the Pearsall Peanut... Pearsall markets over 55 million pounds of peanuts annually!
Such a fun week!

Fathers Day

Fathers Day was the same weekend as SeaWorld and the Anniversary celebration so we just continued the fun with lunch, drinks and dads at the country club followed by watching the Spurs win their 5th NBA Champs title. Top that!

Nanny and Pappy = 40 years!

We celebrated Nanny and Pappy's 40th wedding anniversary with a trip to SeaWorld and a fun family dinner. Nothing says love and marriage like taking your grandbabies to see Shamu....in the summer.....in Texas.
