Giddy Up!

What's the best part of going to Grandpas house? The 5 (sometimes 6) hour drive? No, getting to see Grandpa & Ginny - oh, and the horses of course!
All 3 granddaughters on his favorite retired horse Leo - too cute!
Mommy even got on so Tyson could take his first real ride - he loved it!
Kaitlyn & Morgan on Leo - not the best scenery from Morgan's seat but it works!
This was cousin Addyson's first ride too - she was scared at first but fell quickly in love with it and didn't want to get off.
Giving the horses a break - well kinda, the girls wanted to stay on while they rested.

And another stop...

'The twins' we called them - Tyson and Addyson are just about identical in size. This was the best picture of the two of them I got - Addy doesn't slow down for much these days, especially a picture.


Getting so grown up!


Grandma and Tyson hanging out while the big girls played outside.
Here they are - they played in two barrels of dirt for the better part of the day - very entertaining!


Here's the meat shop operation - Dad had gotten a buffalo and we all chipped in to help cut it up. Well, Ericka and I had to play with the kids but we were there for support :)

Morgan came in while they were cutting up the front sholder and said "why do they have a turtle up there?" so from then on it was known as 'The Turtle' (sorry if pictures of meat gross you out)


The little artists taking a break from the dirt to color on the wrapping papers :)

The girls snuggled up with Ginny and had a campout in Grandpa's living room - Little Giggle Monsters!

Here was Tyson earlier that week...don't worry Tyson, Mommy falls asleep when she tries to read too!
