Harvest

 

Harvest time... corn this year!  The girls and I even took lunch to the field... look out Pioneer Women, but yes I used a few of her recipes and foil wrapping packing techniques, thanks PW!

VACATION

 

Again we traveled to Estes Park to the Craig Reunion. We enjoyed the beautiful mountains, playing wiffleball, mini golf with the pro grandma, swimming, and an awesome talent show.

Then, for another few more days we continued our "out west" adventure to Laramie, Wyoming to this beautiful log home.  We grilled, relaxed, played tetherball, hiked, and enjoyed awesome weather... perfect cool, coffee, drinking mornings and no aircondictioning needed in the afternoons. 

One day we drove up into the mountains to Albany Lodge and rode ATV's on trails... amazing beauty, jealous of the kayaker, scary HUGE rock, fantastic experience, LOVE THIS COUNRTY!!!

Horses and Hogs

DC Fair 2015... Herford Hogs and Horses... that's how we roll.  Miss B had a super horse show winning senior showmanship, western pleasure, and top 10 rate of gain with a pig.  Halfpint rocked the speed events in the horse show, and loves her helmet!  Way to go Chequest Eagles!

Dreams Coming True!

 

Halfpint and Daisy performed for the first '"real" rodeo.  They teamed up with the Sara, Sara, and Dally, as the Shooting Star Trick Riders.  A video of the performance in on you tube, if you search Shooting Star Tick Riders.  What a perfect day to make a dream come true! Happy 11th Birthday Halfpint, what a beautiful one foot fly-way!!!
