Texas has its perks

Where did I get this Man Cub?
Despite the fact that Finn is far from being raised by wolves (despite his grandparents' rebuttals) he is quite a natural in the wilderness. He loved the campfire, slept better than we did, and took pride is his first scraped knee. Thank you Texas for your state parks every 10 square miles, particularly Huntsville State Park with it's beautiful surroundings, and your great weather in February!


My two handsome boys snuggling, my heart melted
 CrafTy Tuesday! 
Finn and I made fruit loop necklaces this week, and he was an absolute pro at stringing them on. 

1on the string-1in the mouth. I was curious to see if he would even be interested in eating it when it was finished because he snacked on so many while we were making it.
 What was I thinking........
 Demolished!

2 words--Houston Rodeo!
Finn and I went to check things out before we embark on our family trip and Finn would give it one thumb up and one thumb in the mouth (even when its covered in animal drool)
He loved the shuttle ride over, something about being in a moving bus with no car seat got him really excited....?
Our first stop was the petting zoo and "zoo" was an understatement!! This was Finn's face when we first walked in and it pretty much explains it all.
 They really seemed to like him a lot, he wasn't too thrilled about it
But he eventually started to warm up and I got him to sit by some baby goats
Then even PET one!
Thank you Texas for you're extreme obsession with 10 gallon hats, riding, racing, and touching extremely stinky animals, and frying everything. It makes for a pretty great day!
