Our annual weekend trip to "our" (rental) lake house cabin "on" (near) lake LBJ.
Our first big explore.
DD and Papa were ready to head back, so we kindly loaded DD down with all of our jackets to take back for us. Thanks DD!
Isaac had lots of fun setting up his army men.
And the girls hit the hot tub with Uncle Andy.
We finally made it in time for the Austin Steam Train.
"All Aboard!"
Of course, I had to buy the little train-themed sticker books at the gift shop.
But Isaac spent most of the trip looking out the window.
Abby spent most of the trip being silly.
When the train arrived in Burnet, the "sheriff" got on board to announce a gun fight that would be held by a volunteer acting troop after we had time for lunch.
Isaac was preparing himself, in case the "sheriff" decided to demonstrate early.
And we got a picture with the cast before heading out for lunch.
Lindsay, DD, and I decided to participate in the show as one of the many "Saloon Girls." It was very silly, but we had fun. More pictures coming of us in costume.
That night, DD helped the kids make chocolate-dipped pretzels.
And I "supervised" while they decorated cookie pops from a kit I bought for a dollar in the after-Christmas sale.
The next day, we went to the LBJ Historic Site, were we toured LBJ's childhood home...
...had a picnic lunch...
and visited a working farm.
Isaac was obsessed with the chickens.
After the girls went with the rest of our group to tour the inside of the farm house, he stayed out for at least half an hour, just watching the chickens do their thing.
Then we went to LBJ's home, where he lived when he was president.
The kids completed their booklets and got sworn in as Junior Park Rangers.
On our last night, we played Bingo.
We didn't have enough Bingo markers, so we used Isaac's army men.
Isaac had some fun discovering the iPads photo booth app:
Abby double-fisting it after a Buc-cee's stop on the way home.
And, Mimi, Isaac wanted you to see his extra crazy hair day.
As always, thanks Mimi and Boppa, for hosting such a perfect family weekend.
