Woohoo!

That is the sentiment Madie gives when she hears Mimi and Granddaddy are coming to visit!  They came to town to see Ring of Fire and we were lucky enough to get some time with them.  They stay at te hotel jsut down the street which has a pool - bonus!  I keep telling them they can stay at our house and Mike and I will go to the hotel.  ha!

Ready to go swimming

 Mimi brought a present for Marlie from a friend and I promise Madie put this bow on all by herself. At least I am leaving some sort of impression.  :)

 Hey, this feels kind of good!

 The next day we went to the stockyards for lunch. Madie accessorized herself and kept telling me Mimi would like it!  Ha!  Here she is riding her horse, which she kind of slipped off!  Haha!  Thank goodness for Granddaddy's cat like reflexes.  

 Watching the cattle drive. 

 Here she is telling Granddaddy she absolutely IS going to ride the real ponies.  

 Here is Marlie standing in when Madie decided she absolutely was NOT going to ride the real ponies.  :)
