Afternoon Ride

It was breezy but that didn't stop these kiddos. Grady, the paint, was full of

himself with the cool temps but Scooter was the gentle babysitter

.... as always. 

These boys are getting old and I can 

tell how much it saddens Cory. 

This girl really took to riding. I must say she looks 

beautiful up there. 

It been a long time but I didn't want to miss out on the fun.

Getting ready

Hoping this will keep them warmer and drop some pack weight 

Finishing the puzzle

Supper Club November

Holding true to my self promise of slowing down for the holidays. Along with this promise comes.... Connecting! Connecting with friends last night was a great reminder how we all need this in life. I had decided to leave my camera in the truck so I could connect more but I couldn't leave behind the warmth, exploration and smiles so I brought memories home with me after all.

These kids are determined to make fire....

determined!

Jack C is going to get it and the smaller boys

are ready to see it.
