We went to the Wilburns Country House near Lake Sommerville, TX, in Ocotober.

The night before we had a dinner date.  We came home to this.

Do we have the sweetest babysitters or what?

The next day, on our anniversary, we headed out to the Wilburns' Country House, as Jake terms it.

We got in Friday night and the kids immediately got ready to go armadillo hunting.

The thorns that were believed to have made the crown of thorns on Jesus' head.

Looking at the drought.  No longer because apparently the tanks are all full now.

Justin could've stayed right here all weekend.

Gun shooting.  I can't remember which one I liked best, but it was this one.  Maybe the 22?

Definitely not this one.  Don't think I will be a marksman in this lifetime.

Helping dig a swimming hole

Loved watching this.  But my can't-swing-stomach didn't try it.

Caught one!

Yes, the boys had matching PJs.  Hilarious!

Dana was good with her guns.  I had a hard time hitting the hogs.

I always love me some hammock.  Enjoying the stillness of the weekend.  So nice to just be on the land, simplistic, and away from electronic distractions.

Avery's room

Jake's room.  We came home Sunday night and put Justin to bed.  He was crying that he already missed Jake's country house and the bunk beds.  Can you blame him?  There was even a cubby hole that opened in the middle so Jake and his cousin could talk to each other.  Every only child's dream.

The opposite wall in the room.  Dana is amazing with her decorating!

I actually enjoyed this.  It was fun to cut grass.  Who knew?

We ended the weekend with this.  This never happens as Justin still takes a nap everyday in his own bed.  This told the story of a fun filled weekend.

What a great weekend!  Such a fun time to have such quality time with the Wilburns.  And the location was just breathtaking.  Even derek was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.  Such a wonderful family the Lord placed in our life.  Thankful for these people!
