Ranch Life

We had a great time doing all the different activities on the Ranch. Here is most of what we did last week, well at least what I got pictures of .

Archery

Christian got the best of shot of all of us here.

"I make archers look GOOOOD."

The Brazos River ran through the property so we went fishing a couple times. The first time the boys caught 4 fish and the second time they only caught 1. Not bad though since the ranch people said the fishing there was bad!

Christian loved catching fish sticks.

We also hit up the hot tub quite a few times. Lilly decided to come with us one night to break in her new swimsuit.

How cute are her new sandals from Bestemor?

When we got to the hot tub the bubbles were going and Lilly was really unsure of it. But after a while she got used to it and loved it.

Our last day there we decided to go canoeing. It was pretty fun though Lilly didn't last long before we dropped her and dad back off on the shore.

We ended up coming back to shore soaking wet from a water fight between the two canoes. Thanks Tove for starting that :)

A first for me and Christian was Skeet Shooting. I was so sure that I would miss everything but it wasn't too bad. Christian and I both ended up getting 13 out of 25 so just over 50%.

Sometimes they would let 2 go at once and if they cross you can get them both with one shot. The guy told everyone this but no one could do it. Except Christian. He got lucky ;)

Christian, Thomas, and Gunther went shooting a second time later in the week as well. And this time Christian shot 20 out of 25. Not bad for it being only his second time shooting a gun.

Of course, we also went horseback riding. We ended up going twice. Here I am on Rocket on the first trail ride.

And here is Christian with his first horse, Curly.

Me again with Rocket, who really was probably the farthest thing from being rocket-like.

And again, Christian on Curly.
