Thanksgiving in Sonora and El Dorado

Michael had a week off from school Thanksgiving week so we decided to head to Dawn and Skeeters for a few days...with Michael in school we have to travel when we can.

It's amazing how much fun the kids can have with $1 glo sticks from the dollar store.

Michael and Trey.
I tried the night setting on my Canon Rebel, it took some cool photos. I think I need to experiment with those settings more often.

Michael made himself right at home in the Hotel room, he loves staying in Hotels.

Dawn's Dad, George, with Michael, Trey and Dacey. He is so good with the kids and we love him :o) (cellphone photo that's why the quality isn't too great. But I still love the photo).

Dawn with Crank, one of their new puppies.

Dawn and Skeeters horses. It's bone dry there...lots of dirt and even the cacti is dying.
~

Crank is actually Skeeters pup and Skeeter wanted some photos taken with him, too precious! Crank was rescued and is still a bit on the shy side but I am sure he'll get over that soon.

Skeeter wondering what the crazy woman on the ground is doing? Of course she is taking photos of YOU darl'in, just keep walking, lol.

One of Skeeters pigs...a pretty calico pig at that!

Their Longhorn just had a calf the Saturday before, too sweet!!

On Black Friday Dawn, her Mother Donna and I drove into San Angelo. We like to visit the Mom & Pop shops on the opposite side of town from the Mall and major Dept Stores. We had a great time shopping, no crowds and a very nice lunch, just us girls. Very grateful to Skeeter for watching the kids! The above photo is a mural that is downtown San Angelo, beautiful.

Bet you didn't know that the highest number of sheep were sheared for Texas in 1943?
San Angelo is known for it's sheep and goats, can you tell?

I decided to take the boys for a walk, Michael decided to pull Trey in the wagon, it lasted a whole 3 minutes...

RoArrrrr!! or would that be Brrrrrrrr it was cold!

And I leave you with a cute photo of Crank, isn't he sweet?

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Dawn and Skeeters, so glad we were able to go. Just wish it could have been longer but there is always next time!
