Wacky Wagner Weekend II

The time arrived for the Wacky Wagner Weekend II.
This is an annual event that Greg's sister (Aunt Gayle) and her awesome hubby (Uncle Bob) have created. The anticipated event lands mid-July at Bob's parent's gorgeous lakehouse at Grand Lake.
My kids count down the days for this glorious weekend to arrive. And, after seeing the pics, you will see why.

Mooooooo

It was ChickFila's Annual *Cow Appreciation Day*
So...the Ruley family did what it does best...improvised our best cow costumes and headed for our favorite fast food joint.
On our way...Big Daddy's Cow ears went flailing in the AC wind...it was hysterical!! :-)
 Big Shout Out to Regal Plaza ChickFila for blessing all my little calves with a delicious meal!
Your generosity is such a tangible expression of the faith and values you stand behind!
