Spring Break at Blue Sky Ranch

Where did our break go? We kicked off an action packed week by running by the Flying Biscuit. I had to try the fried green tomatoes (as we were in the South, after all). I even tasted some grits.

Valerie opted for the stack of chocolate chip pancakes. While not specifically Southern, still delicious.




Meanwhile, back at the Ranch, Amira & Choo Choo kicked up a little ride. They looked like a scene from Bonanza.




Rosa is just two years old and full of frolic.




Valerie was in love with La Mancita.







Group photo!



There was some time for relaxing. Amira said everything here was especially soft and comfortable.




Rex & Choo Choo took the big tractor out for some chores & pleasure ride. It was Rex's pleasure.







Striking a pose at the bass pond between reeling in those fish.














All the kids love to drive the Gator.






More horsing around. We were all bow legged by the end of this trip.




Miss Amira was all over that horse salon time. Mancita's tail never looked so sleek.




On Wednesday Rex caught THE BIG ONE. The legendary monster bass grabbed the hook!




The boys were looking for a bucket of water for the fish when a wickedly fun idea crossed my mind.

Valerie, I owe you a root beer float!

Following that, the boys filleted that legendary bass, dredged it in pancake batter and deep fried it. (Seemed an appropriately Southern thing to do).




Here's chef Rex with his creation.



After stuffing ourselves with bass, we wrangled kids & pets for a family photo.




Thanks, Blue Sky Ranch!
