Christmas at the Ranch!

Mary and Brad were back for Christmas, so on Monday we all loaded up to head to the ranch for the week. Mary had the brilliant idea to ask Jessica to give us a golf cart tour of Baylor. It was c-o-l-d but fun!!! The kids loved it!!!
 


The bears were out and so close to the edge of the enclosure! Tour guide Jessica told us that Joy and Lady are sisters. But each one of them has a twin brother!! And the twin brothers are famous Hollywood bears who have been in movies! Think she is telling the truth???

 
And we got to check out the new stadium! Joshua said "one day Jake and I are going to be playing on this field!" Dream big Joshua!!!
 






Later that day we bundled up again for a creek stomp. There was quite a bit of water in the creek, so we couldn't go as far as we wanted. But we had a good time.



The next day Joshua, Jake, Mike and I went back to the creek to retrieve the deer that had died in the creek. Mike wanted the antlers. Ewww!!! But Joshua was ready for the adventure.

 
And New Years's Day meant it was time for the Cotton Bowl!!! Brad had 4 free tickets and the lucky winners were.....


They all had a great time!! 20 rows up on the 20 yard line. Incredible seats at an incredible stadium. If only Baylor had won!!!!



 
After 5 days at the ranch it was time to head home. What a wonderful Christmas break with lots of fun memories!!!
