Winter Range

Last Saturday, BJ needed to go check on the cows on the winter range, so he saddled a bunch of horses and we all went with him. The weather was perfect, and it was really good to be out!! I was pleasantly surprised to see what good riders the kids are becoming! Some of the trails were pretty rocky and a little bit scary (for Brittany), but all the kids were troopers and got the cows to the corral. Once we were at the corral the kids had tons of fun off their horses as well. There is an old, fallen tree that the kids had fun climbing, and a sweet little perch at the top for them to sit in. Once they mastered the tree, it was off to the rocks! There are some pretty cool rocks at the top of the hill, and the kids had a good time in them! Madison, Brittany and Brooklyn all made "rooms" out of the formations, and they even had a kitchen and a toilet. They had a picnic in their "kitchen" too. After lunch, we looked for pottery pieces and chased lizards - but there were too many holes in the rocks for the lizards to hide in - we sure tried hard though!!
