RANKIN: I got one foot out. Now I'll work on the rest.

RANKIN: If I #2 in the capitol will they still let me be governor one day?

Girls Weekend in Horseshoe Bay

Erin organized a fun weekend for the ladies on her trip down from NYC. Rankin was the only boy given a pass to the estrogen party. There was reality TV, gossip magazines, boxed wine, enchiladas, queso, and loooooots of girl talk.

Thanks to Lauren and her gracious in-laws we had a beautiful house to stay in.

Rankin and I set up camp in the Casita.

My boy got lots of attention from the ladies. It was so wonderful having six willing babysitters around at all times.

It's not a girls weekend without 7-layer dip.

...and queso.

The pool was tip top. We spent as much time there as possible.

My baby's first swim!

Pool time with his betrothed, Madison.

Lots of naps on me.

The cabanas were a life saver for those of us who are scared of the sun.

Maddy was so impressive. If she can find her fingers she can sleep anywhere!

Thankfully these enormous margaritas weren't very strong.

The whole group! (Poor Rankin's mean mom made him wear a hat that was too big for him and kept blinding him.)

We had lots of fun and there are already rumors of going back next year!

Rankin's Thoughts #8

RANKIN: The L train isn't running so I'm going to take my ironic onesie to McCarren Park.

RANKIN: Clearly the essence of quantum electrodynamics lies in the renormalization of gravity particles.

RANKIN: Maybe if I flirt with the waitress she'll bring us a free carafe of pinot noir.

Rankin's Thoughts #7

RANKIN: Where's the drink holder on this thing?

RANKIN: Do you smell dog?

CASEY: Do you smell baby?

RANKIN: Give me one of those tortillas to put around these fingers.
