Rachel's Busy Weekend

We had one super busy weekend in April. We went to Scarborough Renaissance Faire (which has gotten a lot more fun now that Rachel's old enough to enjoy some of it though William is still a year or so away from doing more than just riding around in his stroller). Then on Sunday Joshua took Rachel to an air show in Fort Worth with his parents. William and I stayed home and chilled since he doesn't care for loud noises....yet..... :P

Pictures from Scarborough

She always gets the best views; this one of the parade.

Rachel saw a girl with decorative face paint and she HAD to do it herself. She pestered and begged until we finally gave in :)

Enjoying a roasted turkey leg (kind of a must-do at any Ren Faire)

Riding one of the war horses that work the joust (that's our friend Maggie leading them)
And finally enjoying some medieval music (her dress is hiding her legs which are actually on the bench; it was just her feet that dangled but i love the effect!)

Pictures from the air show; since I wasn't there I don't have too much commentary, but you can see much fun was had by all! :)

Walkin' the line (with ear protection)

Spring Bluebonnets

These were taken back in April at the dam on Lake Texoma near the Oklahoma border. It was an incredibly windy day, as you'll see. We were very happy with the results though (thanks to the digital camera; there were lots of goofy ones too, most involving windswept hair issues!).


Here's a look at the area from afar

Our favorite one of Rachel and William together (notice his pink cheeks...he gets the slightest bit warm and his cheeks light up!).

I love this one; I think it'd look cool all in black and white except for the flowers.
