A visit from the Isolas!!

John's friends Kevin and Eileen came to visit us in May.  They've all known each other close to THIRTY years.  Pretty amazing.  Like us, they have two boys, close in age to our own.  It was lots of fun seeing the boys bond. 

Of course we had to take them to see the famous Fort Worth Stockyards.




After we saw the longhorns pass by, it was time to goof around on the saddles and carousels.





Jack and Cam were ready for a challenge, so it was on to the mechanical bull.  Josh went first and showed off his one-hand cowboy moves. 


Cam wasn't intimidated at all.  He loved it!




The operator took it a bit easier on the smaller boys, but he gave Cam a good dip and some spins by the end!


Next up was Jack:



He got a few more twists and bucks, but he held on! 


Yee haw!!


Finally, it was Lucas's turn. 



Sometimes Lucas loves riding the bull, sometimes he hates it.  Today, he loved it!


Yee haw for Lucas too!


Our bull riders earned a nice cold sno-cone treat.



It was so nice to spend time with Kevin and Eileen.  We are all remarkably similar and got along as though we see each other all the time (even though it had been several years since we last met up).  It was particularly fun to see the boys get along so well.  The visit flew by and we are eager to make our way to their house soon!
