Every year the day of Thanksgiving after we eat lunch we head down to South Texas to the Deer Lease. The girls were so ready and I think Chuck and I were ready as well!
Officially every girl here knows how to skip a rock!!
Lots of looking for arrowheads.
The beauty of the rock formation is just another Awesome Wonder of the Lord we serve!
This is the Pecos River Bridge, I can just see the Indians now!
We did a lot of eating and hanging out, we also did a lot of 500 count puzzle's, always fun, as well as Scattagories!
Good Ol Deer Burgers!
Works out every year, Hannah manages to always have a buddy! This year was Clair and they were tight!!
There is this neat museum that is just 30 miles away from the lease and its the Judge Roy Beam Museum. Very neat. Even the girls enjoyed it.
Lots of history and corruption!
On our way home we stopped at the Fort McKavett. Very interesting. It was a Fort to get away from the Indians in the area during the 1860's.
Lots of history as well, and was so fitting for the fact that Brenley had been learning about Indians and we just finished a project about the Indians.
We sure were thankful to live during our time and not the time that people had to flee and run from the Indians. We also learn to respect and care about the Indians and their land, because by all accounts they had this land as well.
God is good, and I am so very thankful for my time out in the open range as we were and able to see just HIS magnificent and great Glory!
I can truly say there is not a day that does not go by that I do not catch a glimpse of His Nature, whether it a sunset, or the stars at night, or a dove flying as we drive by, or even as Hannah reads to me! God is evident everywhere we are, because if your His, his presence is always with you and will never leave you~
Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
And don't get caught up in the business of things and making sure we every thing under the tree, but making sure He is in your heart! All He ever wanted was our Heart!
