At the Ranch

I know it's time to stop living in the past but I had to post just a few more summer photos! These are from our trip to my grandparents' farm/ranch in western ND- one of our favorite places. It is so serene and beautiful and we get to see so many relatives we only see every year or two.
These first few pix are my nephews, Daniel (3), Zechariah (7), and Samuel (2 mos). Are they cute or what?? Madison (holding Samuel) sure thinks so. As of these pix, my grandparents had 7 great grandchildren under 18 months old and 6 were there. In fact the three Katie is shown holding are each under 2 months. In all they have ten grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. My girls and I are the oldest in our respective categories.

Check out my cousin, Jarvis' little Japanese-made pickup. It gets 60 mpg and the steering wheel is on the right side.






A bunch of us went back into the pasture to try our hands at shooting some of Wade's dad's guns.









A highlight was going to the rodeo to see Jarvis compete in the team calf roping event.








Wade and Katie ran a 5k while we were there. Here they are after finishing with their cheering section!
