Hey Dude!!!

November 12-14, 2010:  Eric and I met up with family for a weekend of fun at the Westgate River Ranch Resort in River Ranch, Florida.  Everyone keeps asking me if it was like the show Hey Dude that used to be on Nickelodeon.  lol.  Maybe yes, maybe no (I can't quite remember much about the show except that I used to love it!).  My family got there Thursday (I think), so they got to do a couple more things that we didn't (like horse back riding) get to experience (since we had to wait until I got off work and Eric got out of class in Friday).  Here are some pictures/videos of our adventures!

Our cabin -- It was really nice...just like a hotel, but with a full kitchen and living room.

Before dinner we went on a hay ride complete with a singing cowboy (Eric just LOVES country music...hahaha).

We saw a lot of COWS!

 

The hay ride brought us back and we were on to the BBQ for dinner!

I'm not sure this worked....nice try guys

Saturday night we all headed out for the RODEO!

There was bull riding and barrel racing!

They also had a contest where kids had to try to grab a ribbon from calves tails

 Mom went skeet shooting on her birthday and actually hit a few!

 That was pretty much the extent of our activities.  I think we packed a lot into such a short trip. 

I want to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING  to all of ya'll!!  I am SO thankful for God, friends, family, and lots more things that I will not list for time's sake.  I hope everyone stays safe and eats TONS of good food!  I've already been to like 3 Thanksgiving dinners and it isn't even Thanksgiving yet!

*I'm going to do a giveaway for the book Eat,Pray,Love -- so stayed tuned for it!
