Rattlesnakes?!!! Eek!!!

So over the weekend, to celebrate Brian's birthday, we went to Bastrop where Brian's family has a farm to visit with Brian's cousin Kevin and his new bride Rachel. I think I mentioned before that Brian's Uncle Don bought a caboose a few years ago and completed renovated the inside to look (for the most part) like it would have when it was in use. It has 2 sets of bunk beds, a full bathroom with shower, and a living area. It's very cool. We have stayed in it before, however this time we stayed at the home that they have on their land since we had EG with us. Here is a pic of EG in front of the caboose. It was super windy as you can tell from her face... (don't make fun of my photo skills- I'm learning.)

We had such a fun time even though it was super windy (which made it a little chilly). Here are some more pics of us...

There was just one little problem... the last night we were there I went to check on EG (asleep in the caboose) when I walked right up to not one but TWO rattlesnakes. Yes, you read that right. SO scary!! Luckily the boys had their guns handy and they were dead in no time. They were coiled up right by the outdoor patio where we were sitting. Here is a pic...

Needless to say, that may be the last time I go to the farm! ;) All in all, it was a great weekend and EG did pretty well for the 4 1/2 drive down there and back. (I did spend the majority of the trip back entertaining her in the backseat, but she was a trooper!) Brian's birthday also happened to be Emma's 7 month birthday (they share the same birth "day.") I can't believe she is 7 months! I'll have to post her 7 month pic when I actually take it.

OH, AND for all my friends with little ones... a friend of mine, Jenny, told me about this awesome website called Citrus Lane. It is basically like the baby version of Birch Box. You can sign up for a monthly box to arrive in the mail that is loaded with some fun baby toys and products! Even better, you put in your child's birthday so they send toys that fit your child's age. Click here to check it out and get $10 off!

XOXO,
