Frio Winter Trip

We took our annual trip to the Frio this year after Christmas. The dogs joined us, so we headed out with a car load full of food, kids, and dogs. We all had a really great time. Cory and Ryan had to do a little work on the land, but other than that, we just hung out and played. The weather was fantastic, and we had fun down by the river and roasting marshmallows. The day we left, we decided to go for a hike up the hill. I never thought we would make it anywhere close to the top! Cory, Adilyn, and Brooke were in the lead with Kacy and I following close behind. We kept going and going, and then we were more than halfway up. I wanted to quit because I was pretty sure someone was going to fall apart. Cory pushed us to keep going, so we did. All of a sudden we were at the top! The view was amazing, and the girls were so proud of themselves. I couldn't believe that we did it either. It was a great way to end the trip! I love being able to do things with them as they are getting older!
This is the view we will have from our back porch. Love the hill country :)

Riding in the mule is always a favorite!
