The Ranch

We finally took the boys to Grandpa Steve's Ranch. They absolutely love it there. Max asked if he could stay for a whole week, maybe even a month. It is so close, but we hardly ever get to go and stay there because our busy lives! The ranch is Papa's pride and joy - my boys think that it is the best. He is so nice to let us go and use it when we want. The boys are already asking when they can go back. Thanks to my mom and dad for bringing the boys down and hanging out with us!

There is always a lot to do at the ranch. The boys did some hiking with josh and played in the waterfall. We played cards - Kaige's favorite is "Slap Jack" of course. They loved swinging on the big porch swings - Banks only got knocked over once with only a minor cut and bruise on his cheek to show for it. We consider this good luck! And of course, the boys' favorite was the swimming.


This is Max and Kaige acting like crazy boys! They loved being able to run and jump and do tricks. Kaige has mastered the front flip from the diving board! It is fun to watch them try tricks and finally accomplish them .


This is Max hiding out under the waterfall. There were a lot of Bees and we was so scared of them. It took him forever before he felt safe to finally get out from behind the water!

Oh Kaige, could it be true, are you really home?! I need you to play, it seems like you have been gone for a long time. Call me.

What a fun time. Don't you just love summer. If you only ended up with one bruise and a minor cut with three boys at a ranch I am impressed.
