Branding at Deer Hollow

It has been a busy few weeks for us. We (the kids and I, Ben came for a weekend) spent almost 2 weeks at the Ranch in Utah and it was SO fun. We had the annual spring branding of the calves and did a whole smorgasborg of other activities. As I have mentioned before it is a virtual play land there for kids and grownups a like, it is truely the most amazing place and we are so grateful we have it go visit. The kids came in filthy every night which is a clear sign of PURE FUN! My digital camera broke the day before we left so I was limited to the poor quality disposiable ones, so some of the pictures are fuzzy but still captured the moments.


Daidy wanted to do the Zipline over and over again!

4 Wheelers run from sun up to sun down... literally.


Fishing at the the bigger of the 2 fish ponds.



Swimming, the cold never bothers the kids.

My sweet sisters and I spent some quality time together which is always a treat

Paddle Boats

This was the most hilarious thing, Sammy figaured out how to do a "mean face" and let me tell ya... they are the yummiest "mean face kisses" ever! He just thought he was SO funny! and he was :) Oh, thought I'd mention, by the 5 or 6 person that teased us about his mullet I finally broke down and cut his hair, he still looks cute as a button.


Amongst the plethura of animals that are at the ranch my mom has these funny little goats Dixey and Daisy, that follow you everywhere, I think they think they are dogs.

This looks like such a fun vacation. Good luck with the move to Austin, it really was a fun place during my 3 months there and I'm sure your family will love it.
