This year, Dad had a muzzle loader hunt around Flaming Gorge at the end of September. We all went with him as far as Lonetree and spent the week hanging out at Grandpa and Grandma Anderson's house. We did our school each morning and spent the afternoons playing. We spent time at Jake and Brittany's house above the ranch, and took a few trips down to the ranch to dig potatoes and move some cows.
For science we made some wind socks and it was the perfect day to do so! They blew like crazy in the tree and the kids really had fun designing them.
Addy got to come join us for a couple of days while her family was out and about at ball games. The kids had lots of fun together. Here they are ready to head down to the ranch to get some cows out of the ranch back into their own field.
"I'll stay here and make sure that the horses stay in their kennel."
Lucy had some learning moments on Blue Lu and she rode Abe and Freckles as well. When we arrived we learned that Flicka has now died and all the grandkids are sad about that. She was the most reliable horse and is so missed!
Grandpa taught Lucy how to through an axe.
Jake picked up two new kittens so they could take care of the mice and chipmunks around his house. They named them Streaker and Tomi. The reason I took this picture, however, was not for cute kittens. Lucy is wearing my shoes. She lost hers for several hours and was quite distraught, but finally decided to wear mine and this is the lacing solution she came up with. :)
Grandpa showed up with a load of sand. The boys built a city and enjoyed the pile for hours. They also took turns persistently moving it by shovelfuls to some low spots in the driveway.
