Troy and I attend the Superbowl festivities in Houston this month and Troy found a great burro rescue that we were able to go and visit and feed carrots to the burros. There were 100's of them and 30 or so horses. We road around in a golf course to see the ranch that houses them and to meet a few in person. Ethan got kissed by a very talented horse that can count and give kisses! Loved it. The woman who gave us the tour said horses are like cats and do their own thing and burros are like dogs, they want to come say hi and be petted. It was so true, the horses fought and pushed each other around for the carrots, but could have otherwise cared less that we were there, but the burros saw the golf cart coming and the just headed over and stuck their heads in and wanted to say hi and get a little head scratch along with the carrots. We all had a great time, we'll probably go back again some time.
This month we also had New Beginnings for Morgan and Ana, with a super hero theme. It was really fun and creative and the girls were adorable. Ana's ROTC group had a Bingo Night as a fundraiser, a tad long, but enjoyable and Morgan took home a basket of goodies as she was one of the very first winners! We celebrated Valentines day, there are some more random dog, seminary and eating out with Morgan pictures. Ethan played on a city basket ball league, it was fun to watch him play. Last year he rowed with a youth rowing team, but not really knowing any of the kids decided to do basket ball instead this year.
The pictures of Grant as a little boy we had found and sent to Grandma Keller on her birthday. The one with Aly and McCall was taken in Troy's office in the World Trade Center! We had just moved a year before the attacks that took down the two towers. A very sad day.
