A Family With Ties to Kuwait Visited the Ranch

I recently made a new friend, and her daughter had a birthday recently, so we arranged for the family and friends of the daughter visit the ranch for a "Barbie Doll Birthday Party."  They came out Saturday evening, and we enjoyed good food, good company, and a fun time for the "birthday girl," Carla who turned twelve last week.

Her dad, Michael, had worked at BAE Systems where the MRAP vehicle was built and made here in Sealy, Texas.   This heavy armament vehicle was used in the conflict in Afghanistan to save many lives of our American Service Members.  Michael also lived and worked as a contracted employee in Kuwait maintaining these vehicles during the conflict in Iraq.

He spoke of how nice the country and people are, and of how he had enjoyed his time living in Kuwait.  He also tried his hand at fishing at the ranch, but the after hooking a big catfish, it broke his line and got away.  His daughter Carla and friends enjoyed petting the baby rabbits, and seeing all the animals in the petting zoo here at the ranch, but by far the favorite activity at the ranch proved to be playing with the "My Size Barbies" which all little little girls love!
