Oh SHOOT!  Starting backwards again to July 2021!

My gift to my entire family this year was a trip to the ROCKIN R RANCH in Antimony Utah - for June 2021!

Best trip ever according to the grands.  We had horseback riding, roping, hatchet throwing, archery, rope swing into the pond, dutch oven dinner, line dancing, games on the lawn, hiking, fabulous food and our own RODEO!!!

Christmas 2020 - everyone got Cowboy hats!

The Ranch - June 2021

SUMMER 2021

Bear Lake got smokey with alot of fires.  It was HOT and more and more people are building summer homes ...times are changing.  Still we love our summer homes; the beautiful lake, the boat, the freedom to come and go, the games and visits on the lawn during the day, the kids home spun plays on our makeshift stage, kayaking and the starlit campfires at night.  We just love being together at our HAPPY PLACE!

Reids family was also able to get to the lake with almost the whole family along with our friends the Lindsays and Eldredges.

With our new home and Reid feeling better we startd up sleepovers again.  The grands enjoyed slip and sliding down the back hill in our new yard.

In the fall we made a trip to see the Bob Rich family in Twin Falls.  They have a nice home, a huge veggie garden and fruit trees and abunant food storage.  We hike to a waterfall, ate at the Elevation restaurant overlooking the Snake River gorge and watch the kids play soccer - all to celebrate Charlies birhday!  Fun trip!

Fall brought a fun trip to St. George with my 'girls'!
