Saturday night was a total blast!  We joined over 125 other people in celebrating the refuge!  We ate dinner with Joe Cavender (the owner of Cavender\u2019s Boot City) and the event was held at his ranch.  He asked me where I got the girls\u2019 dresses!  I thought that was pretty cool.  He can\u2019t sell these dresses in his stores, but he could tell me the exact make and model of my boots (and I did buy them at Cavender\u2019s)!<\/p>\n

The girls had a blast at the ranch and learned a lot about horses and how to be cowgirls, lol\u2026 (look cute in boots anyway)  <\/p>\n

And then a horse came into the stable from the pasture for a visit with the girls!<\/p>\n
