Together Again

June was a big month for the Fox family. We had everyone together in the same room for the first time in years, and it was delightful! Brad and Tasha offered to host an early Father's Day. Their home was great for entertaining. There was lots of space for the kids to run around and all kinds of animals. Dogs, horses, goats, turkeys, peacocks...did I mention they live on a ranch?

Brad was the chef and he had prepared a crawfish boil. Conner had a great time watching him clean the "fishies" and, from what I hear, they tasted pretty good, too. I'm not a seafood fan, so I didn't try one, but the rest of the family dug in.

 Ella wasn't sure what to think about the crawfish. 

Ella had so much fun with her Uncles.

 The Feast! 

 I got some snuggles in, too. 

After lunch, Conner and Henry took turns riding Brick, Tasha's horse. The boys were brave, but they had nothing to be scared about with Brick. He is so well-trained (even though he does get some gastrointestinal problems when he's excited). While we played with the animals, the big boys did some shooting. They love their guns just about as much as they love cars. 

 Meeting the horses. 

 Papa had his hands full!

 On our way to see the goats. 

 Jerilyn took a turn, too! 

 Aren't they sweet! Jerilyn took this adorable photo. 

After all that excitement out in the summer sun, we were worn out. We said our goodbyes, but it won't be long before we visit again for the 4th. It was a great day, and I hope there will be many more like it in our future.
