Fun in the Sun...

And here is a Horton picture overload!! It seems to be a little quicker for me to just post a lot of pictures that give you every little crazy detail about our weekend. So, here goes! In no particular order...of course!!
1. On Saturday afternoon, we loaded up the camper for its maiden voyage. We landed on a small RV park about 15 miles out of town. It was perfect for us to practice and prepare for vacation next week. After much "discussion" with my hubs, we have settled on Red River. I was all for a Texas hill country trip to New Braunfels, but after suffering the 105 degree weather this weekend, Jason talked me into the nice cool mountain air. It wasn't too hard. Here are a few pictures from our time at the pool!
Case fought like a crazy man for those goggles!
Kenna Mae all geared up!
And this is where we spent most of our time at the pool. I think my toddlers are the only kids on the planet that don't pee in the pool...I guess that's a good thing!!

2. Saturday morning was the first annual Full of Bull run here in C-town. NO! I did not run this one. I helped my friend, Stephanie, organize and hold down the fort. She did an awesome job and the whole event turned out great. Kooper, Jason, and Jason's dad ran the 5K and Jason's mom, Kate, Kenna Mae, and Case did the 1 mile Fun Run. They all did awesome! Kooper even gave his mommy a few little goose-bumps when he "kicked it in" at the end and finished with a full sprint!!
Koop crossing the finish line of the 5K!!
Jason stayed with Kooper and Kenneth most of the race, until Kenneth told him he could run on if he wanted and Jason couldn't hold back! He had a very slow start,but finished strong!! Way to go babe. I'm so stinkin proud of him!
3. After the race, we had a parade for Old Settler's Day. So much fun. My family was asked by a close family friend to ride in a horse drawn carriage. My kids had the best time!! If you can't tell from the pictures!

Yes, Case has lost his 2nd tooth and NO he still isn't 5 years old...he's killin' me!

This is by far the funniest thing I have seen in a long time!! That is the rodeo clown driving a pickup with a mule in the back. It gets better! He saw us laughing hysterically at him so he stopped so I could take a picture and said, excuse my language, "I'm just haulin' ass through Childress!" Now, that folks, is small town USA!! HAHA!:) We love this town!


More pictures form the race...out of order!!

The start...

Ma and her babies starting...
Case at the finish line. He was running so fast I couldn't snap the picture in time!!
Kenna Mae running as fast as she could, and Kate just trying to look pretty and NOT work up a sweat!!

And there you have another weekend in pictures! Someday, I will have a chance just to sit down and chat with you guys with out titling my post "update"!

I love it! Sounds like ya'll had a blast! I think ya'll should come hang with the Wheeler's in Abilene when your house is being fixed! You and the kids could come for a day or two and spend some time lounging by the pool! :)

Too funny about not peeing in the pool...but I totally understand. I just got Cord fully potty trained and now when we go to the pool, both Cord and Aidan have to go to the bathroom about 3-4 times each!! Like you said, I guess I should be thankful, but sometimes I just want to say, "Can't you just be like every other kid out here!". Enjoy your trip to the mountains, and bring back some cool!
