Rotan, TX and the Crazy Cades!

We have wonderful friends that live in the middle of nowhere! So, on the way home from Booker we took the scenic route and our detour through West Texas included Rotan.

We had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer. Because of a rain delay over the weekend of the 4th, we got to watch the town's fireworks display. We also got to enjoy Clay's amazing cooking! It was nice to sit around and visit with Katy, Clay, and his family with no agenda. We had alot of catching up to do!

We spent an afternoon at the ranch that Clay helps manage and it was a blast. Em'ry loved the cows, horses, grasshoppers, and butterflies that were swarming the fields! I only wish we had a pic of Katy driving Em and I around in the "mule." My mom would have flipped out if she had seen Em'ry standing between us as we sped through the fields ;)

Feeding Nickel cookies with Uncle Clay

























Em'ry isn't too sure about Clay's dad but since he is giving her cookies she'll amuse him.













Sightseeing in the "mule" wore her out!

Oh, I miss the Cades! They are great friends that Greg and I have known since very early in our marriage and we are blessed that God has placed them in our lives. For that reason, I am so glad Em'ry is getting the chance to know them as well!
