Saturday at Chez Louie (0)
Saturday morning was blazing hot in Dallas, but on the western horizon, we could see a line of clouds in the distance. The kids were settled in for a long ride to Ft. Worth and beyond. Out in the country, between Weatherford and Ft. Worth is a little hacienda called Chez Louie.
Upon arrival the girls were overwhelmed by the myriad of activities available there. Louie and Rene had pulled all sorts of toys out of storage and setup an outdoor playroom under an awning. There was also a trampoline, a dog (which for Francesca is an activity), and of course the pool.
The clouds provided a massive difference in temperature and a brief rain shower. This wet break didn't keep us from enjoying Patron margarita’s while relaxing on the porch. The girls had their first ride on a 4-wheeler and we took a long ride around the block (it took 10 minutes to get around this particular block), seeing horses, mules, and plenty of farm dogs.

As the day wound down, we sat by the pool and enjoyed some fantastic enchiladas and great wine from Duckhorn, Louie's favorite. After dinner we shot off a load of fireworks, scaring Francesca into the house. We woke up to a breakfast favorite-- pigs in a blanket!!!
Thanks to Louie and Rene for opening up their home and making us feel so "at home."
