Back to Civilization

We made it back to the buffalo ranch after 3 weeks of roughin' it. We had basically no cell service, internet, electricity (except what we could generate with our solar panel), no septic/water hook-ups. It was interesting but we had a really good time, and I perfected some Dutch oven cooking!

We spent the day before we left celebrating Archer's 3rd birthday (which is tomorrow!) so he got to choose the activities for the day. We started out with a trip to Cabela's for the shooting gallery & a new toy, then went to "the peanut place" (Texas Roadhouse) for lunch where he camped out on the birthday saddle for a good portion of our time there. After that we took a bike ride on the trail to the park & ice cream, and pizza for dinner. A seriously good day for an almost 3 year old!

Yesterday we moved back to the buffalo ranch and found an awesome little beach just a few minutes away. We are planning to go back soon, but it was only in the 60's today, brrrrrrrr.

In house news...we have none unfortunately. The mortgage company is waiting for the official approval letter from the bank with the new sales price, so everything is on hold until they get it. It looks like we will probably not be able to close in July at this point, and we're actually requesting an extension for another 30 days. Frustrating. Extremely. But nothing else has come in the market that we are even remotely interested in, sooooo...we wait.
