More Time in the Country (Phillips Reunion Day 2)

All the way out to David and Libby's land Gracie talked about how 

she was going to ride the horse all by herself.

I wasn't sure she'd want to ride it at all, much less, by herself.

But she proved us wrong!

She was the first one up there and never once got nervous.

She grabbed hold of that saddle horn and was ready to roll!

Just needed a little leading by Uncle Dave.

And maybe a little spotting by Poppy!

Ellie loved it too...

felt like we had a couple of little cowgirls on our hands!

E doing a little "yeehaw"!

Even Emmy got a chance!

Some of the crew!
(how we love that big Texas sky)

Watermelon break!

Uncle David talking to Gracie about going to feed the calves

a bottle.  She was way into the idea of feeding a baby cow a bottle!

And this folks, is a calf's bottle.

Huge!

Ponchito sucked this down in just a couple of minutes!

And then wanted more!

E would still rather keep her distance a little...

but she was into it too!

Family pic.

Do we look like we fit in the country?

I don't know...not sure we could pull it off!

3 sisters on a horse 

(for a very short time!)

E and cousin D.

Now, there's a cowboy!

Love this pic.

Pick up, camo hat, cowboy.

This was so much fun!

Thank you Meek family for making this happen!

We loved it!
