I always take way too many pictures, but I wont show them all... Here are a few of my favs.
We always love riding...
Jaxon's first time on a horse with his big brother.
My cousin Lindy's little girl with Bailey.
Out in the pastures
Going down the lane...
Back to Aunt Carol and Uncle Doug's house (notice they're riding all by themselves.)
And playing/fishing in the pond...
Jaxon in his makeshift "playpen" out of the fire pit moved (there was no ash I promise!)
On the 4 wheeler with my cousin, Lindy and our kids. Lindy and I got into some trouble with the 4 wheeler as kids. We may or may not have flipped it. Some of my best memories as a kid are hanging out with Lindy and my cousins at my aunt and uncles. Good times!
4 wheeling in the dry lands. Then we went looking for bones. Yes animal bones, gross I know but they thought it was the coolest ever.
Bailey holding a decomposing steer head. Gross but she thought it was awesome
Playing outside getting all dirty...
The kids adored the cute baby kitties, frick and frack.
On the last night, Paul and I got to help my aunt and uncle herd some cattle. One of their steers had escaped and we helped herd them over. Carol and I were on horseback and Paul and Doug were on the 4 wheelers. We felt like fish out of water for the most part but had so much fun! Who would have thought? It rained a little and I almost fell off my horse when it fell on its knees while galloping (so scary!) and I am so sore now but loved that I can still ride a horse after all these years! Paul flipped the 4 wheeler too, It was awesome watching him and Doug ram into the steer with the 4 wheelers. PS. A side note: Cows are nasty. They poop everywhere, stink and are kind of mean. I will never feel bad about eating a steak or hamburger EVER.

Happy 4th of July!
Marcia, This looks like SO much fun. What a great thing to be able to do with your family. I think it is awesome that your kids are on horses. My Kids have never been on a horse. I love the picture of the boys together on the horse.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun thing.
Looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of fun. I have wanted to call, but knew you were gone then and we were gone the next weekend and now we are off to more training in a few minutes. I'm so glad you can have so much fun there. I didn't realize you had met on 4th of July. How fun to be able to have fun that day each year.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a fourth!.. and I thought ours was fun! Haha! Looks like little house on the prairie! And fireworks are a great way to start off a relationship! Love all the pics!
