Gymnastics on horse back, better known as ~ Vaulting

Haylie has been attending a vaulting class over the last 3 days. Today was the last class and they put on a demo for all the parents to watch. I am so proud of  her! The instructor was amazing with all the kids. They all sky rocketed their confidence levels. Maybe now the desire to start a team for this area will be sparked. 

Last ride was freestyle - they could do any moves they wanted. 

First ride was a routine 

Second ride was on a barrel 

Road Trip!!

Took a trip to California to explore where I was born. Got to see family, friends, and some beautiful country. 

Beautiful Shasta Mountain

These two are the best road trippers!! 7 hours the first day and 8 the second. Not one complaint! 

So happy that I got this picture. Grandpa with his great grand kids.

Super sized sand box 

Darren, Kyle and Cody catching up over a game of beans

Haylie took Clayton for a ride on the pond. 

What a fun group of people and place to hang out. The Smiths have a gorgeous yard!

Miss Addison

He is a little fish. Soon as his floaties are on hes non stop swimming. (just like his dad)

Crab and corn on the cob!!

YeHa!!

Cheers!

All the way in the middle of the pond

Life long friends. 

Friends and wine make laughter

Kyle's little girl Rylee (hope I'm spelling her name right) She was such a crack up and a joy to meet. 

Headed to my grandparents "cabins" A lot of good memories for my dad. I remember a few trips to the cabins, the thing I remember most is how stunning the scenery is. This is Fordyce Lake

Walking the dam on meadow lake 

Dad rode his motorcycle down about a 1/4 of the road and then it got to rough. You pretty much need a 4x4 lifted vehicle to get down to the cabins. 

Happy 55th Birthday to these two love birds!

Key didn't work so we had to shimmy the 4 wheelers under the gate.

Dad in the mine that is on grandpas and grandmas property. 

Cook Cabin. There is an old pink fridge in there that I would love to have. 

What a grub ball. This boy loves playing in the dirt with his cars.

2 horses + 2 little girls = Heaven

Maggie came over for a sleep over and did a little riding while she was here. 

Maggie and Ink were a good combination. 

They rode for about 3 hours. Need to get these two out on a trail. 

Maggie loved the bridge.
