Labor Day Weekend

So fun. It was actually a very long weekend. We left Wednesday night and stopped for the night at the KOA in West, TX just north of Waco. It was around 7pm and we were all tired especially Wyatt. So, we set up the RV and went for a swim in the pool. Here is a video of our fun.

The next morning we went over to the KOA playground which was a stones throw from our campsite and where Wyatt played on the slide, climbing gym, swings and rock mover.


After our morning fun we packed up, stopped off at the Czech Stop for kolaches and headed to Giddings, TX where Uncle Daniel and Aunt Nancy live. We had called to ask them to dinner and instead they invited us to stay on their 56 acre spread. I like to call it paradise. It is a beautiful house on 56 acres with a paved road and driveway, a tank in front where the geese live, a swimming pool with slide and diving board, a cabana guest house and a nice barn.

We had a great time there. After finding a place where we could put the RV and have electricity, we had a great visit and enjoyed more swimming. Wyatt and Paco especially liked watching the cows.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner of steak, potatoes and salad, enjoyed the pool after dark and Uncle Daniel showed us around the land itself.
The next morning we enjoyed more visiting and a wonderful breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast compliments of Aunt Nana. They spoiled us and we LOVED it! :-)
Then we all headed off to Bastrop, TX to Uncle Don's ranch where the work began. Uncle Don is restoring a caboose down at the ranch and this weekend his objective was to sandblast the bottom section for the painters that are coming out this week.
Here is a picture of where we camped the first night next to the caboose.

Saturday morning we decide to move the RV up by Miss Donna's (the farm house closer to the main road) so they could sandblast without damaging the RV. That afternoon, they sandblasted and mowed the front pasture with the tractor (including Wyatt) and I ran errands. Since I wasn't there, no pictures of Wyatt in the big tractor but here he is in front of it the next day.

We spent a lot of time exploring the land (this ranch is 92 acres), watching/feeding the horses, playing with sticks, rocks and dirt and just having a great time.
Here is a picture of Wyatt and Uncle Don.

We packed up and left there on Monday and headed back to the KOA in West. We knew what to expect there and it was a place to escape the traffic. Plus, we were itching for another dip in the pool. Tuesday morning we got up, revisited the playground and headed home. It was a great vacation!
