A Day Off

My dear friend Deanna, who lives in Austin, was in town this weekend for her 15 year high school reunion. Ugh  - that makes me feel old seeing how my 25th reunion would have been this past summer! Needless to say she is the "baby" in my group of friends!

I ended up taking today off to spend with Deanna & my Mama Bestie Jen. Mason also got to enjoy a day "off" from daycare & spent the day hanging with Deanna, the Mama's & Miss Ava Jean as well.

Since Jen & I both have brand new houses, Deanna wanted to see them both so we started our morning by having the girls over to Casa de Taylor. I made homemade caramel rolls, brewed a pot of coffee with some yummy Pumpkin Spice creamer & awaited the girls arrival.

 

They came, they toured, they ate, they enjoyed & then we were on our way to spend the afternoon at Deanna Rose Farmstead.

Deanna had never been to the Farmstead so she had so much fun watching the "littles" walk around like pros showing her all there is to do there.

We saw the calves, fed the chickens, gave the baby goats bottles of milk, fed the ducks & the fish, saw the baby quail chicks, had ice cream together & enjoyed a beautiful day outside together all catching up.

 

After conquering the farmstead we all headed on over to Jen & Ava Jean's house. Mase ended up falling asleep in the car on the way over which was good because that boy turns into a grizzly bear if he hasn't had a nap.

Once we arrived, we enjoyed getting the tour of Jen's new home while Mase & Ava played in the playroom. We hung out for awhile longer visiting & then it was time to head back to our house.

Later that evening us three met up with our other girlfriends & had dinner at Cheesecake Factory. The kiddos kept each other entertained while the adult ladies got to eat, drink & catch up.

It was such a great day off during the work week! Just wish I was able to have a day off every week :( Seeing Deanna was awesome & definitely wonderful to spend the day with such good girlfriends.
