Here's How We Spent Our Weekend

Here we are in a beautiful, shady meadow where we spent Saturday afternoon. We brought our lunch and just relaxed and went on a few rides.

Mike and Teresa Eastman are some new friends of ours. I've known Mike for 20 years or so because he used to deliver UPS to the hospital. He's the one that helped Jared get on with UPS. He invited Me and Rog to go with them to the Trace Atkins concert in Wendover last May and since then we've hung out with them several times. What a blessing they are in our lives because we really have only one married couple friends that we do something with maybe once or twice a year. So we look forward to hanging out with them and having our kids together also.

This picture is Jared, Mike and Rog talking about where to ride the horses. They look pretty serious huh? When they got back Jared had scrapes on his arms, Rog and Mike both had holes in their shirts getting caught on the brush on the mountains.

Rog and Teresa had a mean game of horseshoes. She's quite the horseshoe player too. She beat Rog and Mike. Way to go Teresa!! Oh and the hat that Rog has on was supposed to be the "lucky hat" but it wasn't so lucky. Better luck next time Rog!!

Ok..so here is our plate of food on Saturday night. Mike and Teresa went on an Alaskan fishing trip 2 weeks ago. They brought back a couple hundred pounds of halibut and so they cooked some of that up for us. What a nice treat. We had halibut, corn on the cob, shrimp, salad, cantelope and rolls. Now what more can you ask for up camping? Wow!!!

Here's Teresa and I heading off with the horses. I haven't been on a horse in 20 years or so. I was a little nervous but not like I thought I would have been. She's an experienced rider so she led the way.

You can't tell in the picture but the flowers surrounding Makinley were purple and she looked so pretty in her purple shirt. She was picking the wild flowers to give to her daddy and Papa for fathers day. She's grandmas little sweetheart.

The kids are so happy when Papa will load them on the 4wheeler and take them for a nice ride. All smiles!!!

This area we went to which is called Tucker has a lot of fun 4 wheeler trails to go on. We'll be going back here for sure!!!

I adore this picture of Jared snuggling with Makinley. On Saturday we took the horses and 4 wheeler up to a nice, shady meadow area to ride and have a picnic. It was so peaceful and cool. Jared laid down under the tree and Makinley wanted to lay with him. How sweet is that. She sure loves her daddy.

Kristi and the girls are enjoying a little rest. They brought up their tent trailer and spent the weekend with us too. There's nothing better than having all your kids with you and sharing these fun times.

Shana brought a friend of hers to come and spend some time camping and riding horses. Shana has always had a love for them so she had a great time. Mike spends his life around horses so they enjoyed a few rides up in the mountains.

Here are Brayden and Mike getting ready to take off on another ride. Brayden was a pro. Always riding by his self. He's on Moon and Mike is on Maverick. Mike was so patient and kind with all the grandkids. Always taking them on rides and teaching them how to be the boss on the horse.

Three of my little sweethearts were riding on Goldie. Daxton is a horse lover from day one. Gentry didn't want to get off and cried when she had to and Makinley just loved riding and riding too. I was so impressed that they were not one bit afraid of the horses.
