50 years of wedded bliss...

Bill and Becky Ferguson celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this weekend!!! WOW! They are my friend, Cathy's, parents. We always seem to end up at their family events!!! The party was fun, kids played in the pool despite the chilly March weather, adults watched wonderful video clips and mingled. It was so much fun to be included in the Ferguson family event.

SPRING BREAK - DAYS 3-5 - on Lake Granbury

What a fun Spring Break we had! A friend of mine has a house on Lake Granbury and was kind enough to let us use it for the second half of the week. It is a great little place right on the cove, can sleep up to 16 people and is fully equipped with paddle boats, canoes, games, ducks, BBQ grill and more! The Higgs family joined us on Wednesday night for all the fun. As soon as the kids were outside, they suited up in life jackets and hit the water! Grayson LOVED the paddle boats. The only time he and Sam got out of it was to grab a snack! Dave took the girls out in the canoe while Shari and I drove all over Granbury looking for a battery for my camera!!! Ugggghhh, no matter how hard I try, I always leave something important at home. After about 8 stops, we finally found one. I'm so glad. It would not have been the same without getting to capture all these adorable memories!

Is it a beach, or a lake?

Granbury City Beach is a man-made beach near the historical side of town. It was a hit with all the kids, even though the water was FREEZING! It amazes me that the kids did not care about the temperature of the water. They just wanted to have fun! I put my foot in once and quickly ran back to my towel! They played in the water and sand and loved every minute of it. They weren't too happy when we had to leave!

Fossil Rim and Dinosaur Valley

On Friday morning we woke up early for our drive to Glen Rose to visit Fossil Rim. What an experience!! Kendall and I had as much fun as the kids on the 9.5 mile wilderness ride! We bought a bag of food and got to feed so many of the animals. The kids took turns standing up through the sun roof of the car to get a really good look at these creatures! The most memorable part was the Zebras. Not only did they eat out of our hands, one got a little over zealous and started chewing on my blinker inside the car! It was as funny as it was concerning! The only disappointing part was that the giraffes were full by the time we got to them. They got close to us, but we didn't get to feed them. Afterward, Jessie took a little nap while we drove over to Dinosaur Valley. Kendall, Dave and the kids waded through the water, over the rocks in search of dino tracks. They spotted two, but not before falling in to the freezing cold water! It was a great day!

Back at the Lake...

After Fossil Rim and Dino Valley, we headed back to the lake house to enjoy our last afternoon. The kids got right back in the paddle boat while Kendall and Dave played washers (sort of like horse shoes). Shari and I sat on the porch taking it all in, relaxing! Later that night we went to a local pub for dinner, music and big screen TV (after all, it is NCAA basketball tourney time!) I'm glad we had good weather on our break. It rained on Friday night and we woke up to 35 degree weather on Saturday!! And of course, in typical Texas style, it snowed Saturday night!

Physician Appreciation Gala at Cowboys Stadium

My pants are too big, I look fat and I really need to learn to stand up straight! Not a flattering picture, but a fun memory. This was the Methodist Health System Physician Dinner. First time I got to see the new stadium. It was very impressive to say the least! 

SPRING BREAK - DAY 2

Another day at Barnes and Noble Spring Break Camp. Today they made slime! Nothing like getting your fingers into a sticky mess of cornstarch, salt and water! Afterward we headed over to McDonald's with the Higgs and Benge kids. Now, just waiting for the sun to come out!!
