Saturday Night in Del Rio

Last weekend we took a road trip to the little border town of Del Rio to visit one of my most favorite friends in the world, Cody. She and I met in the summer of 1999 ( when the Spurs won the Natl Championship) working at Laity Lodge Youth Camp (send your children here. It really is the best 2 weeks of their lives filled with fun, food, and Christ!). We became fast friends and were in each others weddings. Just love this girl!

Cody and her hubs, Michael, have a beautiful house in town and an absolutely gorgeous and ginormous ranch about an hour outside of town (still in TX--no crossing the border on this trip).

Saturday morning the boys herded sheep. They found this little guy that got separated from his mom. We got to love on him before they took him to his new home where he will be bottle fed and loved on!






I thought about bringing this cute guy home, but the thought of waking every 3 hours to feed him was unappealing.




Some ranch views:






Somewhere along this path we encountered a rattlesnake. I had just told the group 'I'd like to see a rattlesnake'...little did I know Michael would almost step on the snake. Travis and Michael disposed of the rattler and he will no longer be able  to bother anybody.











Their ranch is full of bumper gates which means you just use the grill guard on your truck to push on thru. I love it, because the passenger doesn't have to do get out and open all the gates.









I did it!

We had a wonderful time relaxing, talking, and catching up on life. We love the Gruenwald's and can't wait to go see them again!
