Lighthouse Hill Ranch

A few months ago Steve had the idea to get all of our Texas family together this summer for a couple of days. He and his parents planned the event and we all converged at Lighthouse Hill Ranch in Johnson City, just outside Austin, Thursday to Saturday. 

We (9 adults and 5 kids) stayed in the Green House.

We had fun exploring the property. Some even got pretty close to some cows that wander freely on the ranch.

Kids large and small swam in the kiddie pool.

I'm guessing it was cold?

Some played games in the yard while the rest of us spectated.

Boys big and small played with sticks.

Clark had the time of his life throwing large rocks and piles of ash in the fire pit. I don't think he's ever been so dirty but he loved it!

 When the temperatures rose the family cooled off in the grotto area and creek. I hung out in the shade and played photographer.

Clark didn't love floating in the tube with Dad, but he loved throwing rocks in the cave (surprise!) 

Back on shore, Clark found more rocks to throw. This boy loves rocks. a lot.

We enjoyed a lovely evening outdoors in front of a blazing fire which blended nicely with the blazing temperatures. 

It was fun to see everyone and explore a new place. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for all the fun toys, games, and cookies we enjoyed!
