Ranch Day

Yesterday was Saturday and we had made plans to go out to Mom and Dad's house for the day. They needed Toby to help with "wrangling" the sheep, trimming their hooves, and giving them shots. The original plan was to head out there around 10:00 am, along with everyone else. Well, Mom called at around 7:30 am to have us come out because she needed Toby to cut some wood for the fire pit. Toby's deal was that he was not coming out unless Mom was going to make him breakfast, so she agreed and off we were.

We got to Mom's around 8:30 and had a great breakfast of bacon, eggs, and muffins and then the

guys were off outside to get some work done while Mom and I finished up some cooking in the house before the rest of the guests arrived.

Around about 10:30, we headed over to the sheep pens and started the roping. It was quite the process and Toby learned to trim the hooves, he did really well and had a good time learning his new skill.

After doing all of the work on the sheep (don't let me fool you, I was the photographer only) we decided to go relax in the front yard and have a giant feast in the beautiful weather. We feasted on BBQ beef sandwiches, potato salad, garlic bread, corn salad, baked beans, napalito salad, etc. It was wonderful and we were all completely

stuffed when Dad came out of the house with the pies (of course, I can never turn down dessert so of course I piled that on too.)

All in all it was a wonderful day and we really enjoyed

ourselves. The kids played all day and Chase ate a lot of dirt! HAHA. I love those days when you can spend the day with family and friends and relax, even if you are working. Just the comforts of family I think!

What a wonderful

weekend this turned out to be!
