Last weekend we traveled to Coyote Ranch Resort outside Wichita Falls for our annual Smith Family Reunion.  We had such a great time!!

We knew there was a fishing hole there, so a few days before, Chad bought the boys some new fishing poles and practiced with them in the back yard.  Ranger was soooo excited!





And with a car fully loaded, we were off!!





We left at naptime, and for a glorious 40 minutes, all 3 kids were actually asleep at the same time!  Even Payton girl, who HATES the car!





But all was peaceful when she was chilling in her nap taco in our cabin!




For most of the family, this was their first time meeting Payton.  She was sweet most of the time and let people hold her.  Here she is smiling at Mindy.  (I'm also quite sure she spit up on her as well!)




Loving some time with Grandmother and Grandad...




Saturday morning, everyone went fishing!  Ranger was absolutely thrilled and couldn't wait.  Callen was a bit too young for it, so he and I didn't stay very long.  Thankfully my cousins took some great pictures of Chad and Ranger.  :-)






Ranger's first fish!!!





Payton enjoyed the quiet cabin for most of her naps, but we did have to create a little cocoon for her to keep the flies away.




There was also a little pool with a water slide.  The boys had a blast! Due to Payton's eating and napping, she and I never made it down there, but again...my cousins took some great pictures!  Everyone was quite impressed with our boys swimming skills.







Here is a picture of all the great-grandchildren, minus 4.  Payton was napping, and Josh and Amber's 3 youngest stayed home this year.  But, there are 18 total great-grandkids!  We are so blessed!




But, as with any weekend away, our boys were exhausted.  Whereas Ranger will take his overtiredness and become crazy-boy, Callen simply passed out around 5:00pm on his bean bag watching VeggieTales!  So sweet!


We had such a wonderful time!  We can't wait for next year!
