We made an unexpected trip to Carrizo Springs yesterday and came back today. Jacob needed to check in on all the cattle we had sold in south Texas and we typically have everyone bring them to Dana's for us to trim hooves, etc. I think they did around 12 head or so. This was quite a quick road trip to us - we took the truck and it was me, Jacob, Georgia and Jared. I did try to pack light and did a great job of it. Georgia was excited to finally have a buddy in the back seat with her so her napping was very limited. After the 5.5 hr drive, she was flat worn out since she only took two very quick and short naps.
Prior to stopping at Carrizo Springs, we did swing into Cotulla to visit the Northcutt family. Karen was very excited to meet Georgia for the first time and showed her the bottle calves she has.
Georgia was very excited to see Dana (Gemma). In fact, Jacob and I decided not to tell her that Georgia and I were coming. We thought it would make for quite a surprise when we walked in the door. And in fact, it did!
Pete calls Georgia "Curly Sue". Her curls were pretty tight today after being outside for a bit this morning. Pete held Georgia while Chica and Jo Jo were perched in his chair with him. Chica is quite protective of Pete and will even try to snap at you when you walk by Pete if she's in the chair with him. She didn't seem to mind Georgia too much and the few times she was a bit irritated with Georgia it was amusing because Georgia would squeal in delight.
One thing I can say about the trip is that it is very very dry from our house and south. I knew it was dry at home, but the further south we went the dryer it became. However, southwest of San Antonio it is DRY and BURNT UP! Wow, we all need rain in the worst way. Will it ever rain? We all sure could use some!
