Visit to George Ranch

This is from Easter, but I just remembered that I didn't post these cute pictures from our visit to the George Ranch....

Matthew learned to rope.Pretty good for his first try. We visited a few of the historic homes.And, then of course there was the Easter Egg hunt!

This was a really nice Hunt. Not like the ones where kids stuff their baskets with candy that is just lying on the ground (although that can be fun too). Here, they hid dyed, hard boiled eggs. Just a few dozen, but they were actually hidden over the large yard in front of one of the historic homes. For every egg a child found, they got one piece of candy and every kid got at least one candy, even if they found no eggs. Some kids grabbed one or two eggs that were right in front of them and gave up. But long after most of the kids had finished hunting, we walked through the yard and found several more eggs. Each time, Matthew took the egg and ran to collect his candy.
Jackson even got a sucker, which he very much enjoyed and would not let go of until it was all gone.
