Red River

For Labor Day, we took a much needed trip to Red River per my dad's suggestion.
The last time I was in Red River I was a sophomore in college, planning to ski with my then boyfriend. Well, during the lunch break between my ski lessons, said boyfriend and I hit the bunny slope...where I fell and torn my ACL. I vowed to never go skiing again.

This time in Red River we had a blast. Oh, the cool mountain air and crisp breezes coupled with the smell of people burning their fireplaces makes me ready for fall to get here!

Here is E and Grandpa when we arrived. Eli was GREAT in the car. I couldn't have asked for a better baby! Secretly, I was dreading the drive with a 7 month old. (After the trip that he and I took home from Norman while Chris was taking the Bar, I have been a little hesitant to keep him in the car for long distances. We normally make the 4 hour trip with no stops, but this particular time we stopped 6 times and he was still screaming almost the entire time. It was awful.)


Kaci came too!


T-rex and Kaci...


Me and Dad...



We hardly have our picture taken alone any more! I was so proud of Chris for wearing his OU sweater even after the big loss.


Our family of three...


Eli with his Grandpa and Memamaw...


and Aunt Kaci...


We ventured around to all of the shops...


We had to get some fudge...


And we played air-hockey. Just so that everyone knows, I am still the queen of air-hockey.






After our mad games of air-hockey, we happened upon this really awesome store/cafe with some live music...



That night we ate at the steakhouse and heard more live music...





After dinner, my parents and I took Eli home while Chris and Kaci ventured out to check out the night life. After Eli was asleep I joined them. We ended up around a campfire listening to music outside a local bar. It was so awesome.

The next morning before we headed back home, Chris and I got up super early to go take pictures at the river. It was freezing, but a lot of fun.







I really wanted to see how cold the water was. Yes, I am in flip-flops.


Yellow Texas Bindweed...(just for you, Kaci)
