The Ranch: Part Three

Okay, I know I'm taking a while to get all our ranch pictures on here so I have added a HUGE post with MANY pictures to get them all on in one post.

(this is only a small portion of ALL the pictures we took!!)

Ready to head down to the river for some fishing...

I drove the 4-wheeler and Carson had Evelyn on his back in the back pack.

This was the result...

Colten, Dustin, and Kenyon getting their lines ready...

Finally...FISHING!!

Kenyon & Dustin

Aw, shucks! Tangled lines!!

Carson & Colten

Jamen was very excited about finding this "turkey" feather...

Carson using his Father's Day gift for the first time...

Aw...the joys of childhood on the river...

Damara, Jamen, & Evelyn

Jamen discovered he could use his feather for a pencil in the soft dirt...

Evelyn was intrigued with sitting in the dirt...

Jamen wrote "mom" with only a little prompting from me...

Notice, you can see it in the dirt.

Colten looking like a cowboy...

Dustin on the "scrambler"...

Kenyon on the "polaris"...

Evelyn in the old high chair...

Carson doing some weed-whacking...

He spent far too much time trying to get the weed-whacker to run.

He never did have much luck...

So that is the end of our ranch trip. We did see an antelope on one of our trips to town, but didn't get a picture. We also got one of the kites up, after many tries, but also didn't get it on camera. We enjoyed homemade apple pie ice cream in town on Father's Day too. All in all it was an AWESOME trip! Thank you, Lord!! He provided the beautiful weather and awesome scenery. Plus, kept us safe from accidents.

And special thanks to Dad & Sue for their generous hospitality!!
