Ranch Days

The last weekend in April, the National Ranching Heritage Center had "Ranch Day" where families participated in activities all over the outdoor facility. Austin's Aunt Linda and Uncle Dave were in town tending their granddaughter, Callie, so we invited them to join us. It was SO fun! We can't wait until next year!

Uncle Dave, Callie, and Aunt Linda in front of the only hills here in West Texas. When Taggart saw the hill he pointed and excitedly laughed- that's how flat it is here.

Taggart seriously loves bluegrass music. If it has a banjo, mandolin, or fiddle, he's groovin'! Once he heard the music, it was hard to get him to leave this place.
