A Fun Day at the Ranch!

We took Hailey to Lonnie’s Lookout and she loved the view.

Then we went to visit the pet cemetary

Then it was on to see Colt she has named Whitey and he comes running when he hears her voice .. we visit him several times a day and he doesn’t like apples!!

Billy and the other goats didn’t either but they sure love for Hailey to feed them grass

Billy loved the camera .. he is such a camera ham!!

Hailey loves to ride with her Papa .. he lets her help him drive .. Papa still doesn’t smile even with those new pearly whites!

Defuse the mule loved the apples!!

The lamas could care less that we come see them

But … Defuse sure loves for us to visit him

A Fun Filled Grand daughter Day!

We got up and Hailey and Papa went fishing. In no time they were back with Hailey limit for the day .. Way to go sis …

Right after they came home Skip and Trenton showed up to visit. So Hailey and Trenton played while Papa did the dirty job.

They rode bikes and ate candy .. they played with the bubble machine

After lunch it was pool time … Hailey even got Papa to get in the pool .. she said .. see Papa you can swim and play .. it was so cute.

Skip and Trenton showed up at the pool too …

Hailey met a new friend named Carly and they enjoyed playing until Carly.

We played in the pool until it was getting late and dinner was on all of our stomach’s. After dinner we went riding and the kids played in the creek.

We were all exhausted from too much fun and it was bed time .. were having a blast .. even with the heat!

Grandma and Papa time !

We got up late this morning after a late night. Hailey and grandma went on a 4 wheeler ride. Then it was time to get ready and head to do some shopping.

First it was to the dollar store and then to Wal-mart! Oh no Hailey in Wal-mart .. look out Papa wallet .. LOL

We were suppose to be food shopping but we ended up getting a makeup kit, Barb Pet Set and Playdoe … 2 pairs of shoes and 3 new dress! Uh … we got just a few food items .. not much.

We came home and it was time to play with the new stuff. As you can see in the picture she looks beautiful with her new style.

Soon it was pool time and then dinner, then riding and before long it was late and time to get ready for bed.

Trip home to get grand daughter

We got up early and got on the road by 6.30 am. We are on another road trip to get our grand daughter Hailey!! Yes, grandma and Papa are so excited she will be spending several weeks with us before she starts school.

We ran some errands and then picked her up and stopped to see our youngest son Gabe and then it was back on the road. We were stuck in traffic for over an hour in St. Louis at the West Florissant exit .. there was a wreck.

After finally getting through all the traffic we finally arrived home around 9 pm. It’s been a long day but worth it.

A busy day

Today has been a busy day. We got around and then loaded the green 4 wheeler as it’s getting new tires. After we got the tires on we then headed to the local arctic cat dealer. We ended up leaving the bike there as it’s not wanting to start.

Then it was a trip to Wal-mart to pick up a few things which ended up costing $95! Ughh it sure doesn’t take long. 3 bags is all we had .. grrr

Then hubby went fishing and i just relaxed a bit and played online. Later hubby came back and then we went to do our laundry .. yes that dreaded task needed to be done.

At least we did get spend a few hours sitting outside relaxing and visiting with friends.

Moved back to Lonesome Pines

We got up early and headed to Lonesome Pines campground to get our new spot secured. Then it was back to Wilder to finish putting the slides in and unhooking hookups and hooking up to roll.

Here is where our home will sit for around 30 days before we move again.

I have a large backyard! The dogs will have lots of room to explore and potty area. Plus we have a fire pit for when the grand daughter comes to visit. We do get some afternoon sun where the 4 wheelers and truck are parked but i have shade under my awning .. I have several blinds up so i can see outside which i love. When my blinds are down the walls seem to cave in on me even though i am living in much living space with our new home. We have a nice breeze and i the wifi is working!! Wifi is a big thing for me … i love having internet access inside of my home. We get 13 TV channels on our antenna so that makes hubby happy.

Getting ready to move

Here is our campsite in Wilder. We are moving in the morning.

Here is a view of the stream in front of where we are parked.

Here is hubby doing what he loves to do here .. yes .. fishing!!

As you can see from the picture in the evening it gets foggy from the cool stream.
