Bagley Weekend Fun!

Rich took a lot of great things away with him from Texas A&M, but the best would (hands down) be his Corps Buddies. They have been such a wonderful group of people and great friends to us and our families. Over the years, the girlfriends have turned into wives, and the late-night beer-fests have turned into weekend Barbecues with our families. We all really enjoy watching our kids play together and wonder if they will all attend A&M together someday.

April 14th Kara and Jason Bagley invited the gang out to their place in Emory, TX. There is lots of land for the kiddos to run, play, and get dirty. The Bagleys made some awesome BBQ, and we visited for hours on end.  We even enjoyed a late-night ritual of our own: The Midnight ATV Run. I remember riding on the back of Kara's 4 wheeler many years ago and laughing at the caution labels on the gas tank of her Polaris:
Warning #1: Always wear helmet and protective gear
Warning #2: Never use on public roads
Warning #3: Never carry passengers
Warning #4: Never use with drugs or alcohol
We were breaking EVERY rule at the time.

Times have changed, and although the Midnight Run did take place, it was watered down (literally with water, not beer like the old days) for the kids to come with us. Katy LOVES to ride and it looks like a pink ATV is in her future. Enjoy the pics!

You wanna entertain kids in the country? Just add water to dirt and let them play in the mud.
We didn't hear a peep out of them for hours....

Carter is old enough for his own ATV!

Frequent stops are a must.
Who doesn't want to stand in an empty field and visit with your friends in the dark?
