Our trip to the ranch and to Abilene

Well, we finally made it back from our travels. We went down to Will's parents' house in Oklahoma to help them work cattle. After that we went to see my family in Abilene. We had some family in from Canada, and other family that we had not seen in awhile. Such good times, too short, and LOTS of driving!!! The boys do well on the road. We make several stops and let them run around, but usually the last 30 minutes are not fun. The boys are so ready to get out and Will and I get restless too. Oh well, we can't wait to do it again at Thanksgiving and Christmas!!
