Silver City Here We Come!!

The final weekend we had Kayla for the summer, we headed back up to Silver City. Kayla was looking forward to four wheeling and fishing. Our little family was able to go up a few days early with Matt, Beth and Grace arriving early Saturday afternoon. The weather was a little on the chillier side this trip, but nothing that a wood burning stove and warm clothing couldn't fix. We went four wheeling on Friday for the morning to take a trip up to the Summit for cell phone service then back down to go fishing. I am not certain that we are meant to fish. We certainly try hard, but hardly catch anything. I guess better luck next year. Either way we all still had fun doing it.

Kayla teaching Keegan the basics of the machine.

How FUN!!!!

Just giving it gas and working on the steering.

Keegan always has to do what Brad is. Here he is helping him put together a dresser.

Taking a little drink break.

Basting in the rays!!

Stylin in his helmet. I actually didn't think it would go over to well with him wearing this to ride. He was a champ!

How do I look?

Early morning playtime on the porch.

How I love thee, let me count the ways...
On Saturday, some of the Ineck family were up in Silver City to help celebrate Louisa's birthday on Sunday. We had a Huge BBQ of steaks over at the Meat House. How fitting!! Happy Birthday Louisa!!
Grace with her messy cookie face. Keegan's just taking it all in.

Brad was husking corn for dinner that night. Keegan and Grace watched in amazement. As soon as Brad got done husking the first corn, Keegan stole it out of the pot to eat it. He LOVES corn on the cob!!

It's funny how two Margarita buckets can prove to be such great entertainment. BANG, BANG!!
Looking forward to her next four wheeler ride. When is is gonna be?? Who can I talk into taking me??

Bring on the food...

This corn is grrreat!!

Dreaming for the day when we buy our own...

Pappa playing happy birthday to Louisa on his sax. Keegan just couldn't get over this instrument and helped pappa press a key here or there.

Working on his next project.
Thanks to Matt & Beth for always hosting us up in Silver. We enjoy the family company and a great time. Looking forward to many more trips next summer!!

Anderson Ranch Camping

Our family took a little camping trip past Anderson Ranch with the Histand family. It was a great trip. However, since we don't have a family sized tent yet, we used out two pup tents for a girls (Me and Kayla) tent and a boys (Brad and Keegan) tent. I wonder who got more sleep?? The weekend was spent fishing and sitting in the river, watching the kids play in the dirt and sitting around the camp fire making smores. Yummy!! We had great weather for the trip. Unfortunately, I didn't really take any pictures. Please visit http://littleowensbiglife.blogspot.com/ for pictures that Kelly took. Thanks for fun times!!
