Spending a day at our friends' ranch yesterday,
the girls left to help with a wedding
while the boys (and I) stayed put.
playing football with Dad +
riding on (and, for the first time) driving a four-wheeler up the canyon +
more four-wheeling + kickball games +
cooking out in the fire pit +
telling scary stories around the fire & watching the moon rise
= one happy 10-year-old boy &
one out-of-commission Dad the next day.
We've hit the point of the vacation where we need to recuperate and relax after all this fun. Greg's coming down with some nasty bug and the kids are dragging and crabby on too little sleep + too much stimulation. I'm not sure if we'll even leave our hotel tomorrow!
Home again, home again, jiggity jig on Tuesday.
p.s. I'm experimenting with a wider format and larger photos. Hopefully my photo skills (and, someday, a better camera) will eventually live up to the HUGE size. I searched high and low for the Blogger codes to make this happen and I'm happy to share. If you want to know the codes for this format edit, send me an email and I'll give you the links.

i now have a cramp in my pointer finger from scrolling down so much. your pictures are huge.
i love them. cramp and all.
Jiggity jig!! I thought I was the only person who said that any more.
I love that photo of the red barn against that green, green grass.
Man, Annie {+ Greg} --pace yourself with that boy...how will you ever match that kind of day again? (Great memories, for sure.)
(and ditto on the red barn photo.)
Okay, first off, the pics are gorgeous. Love the colors and the feel of the movement in the four-wheeler ones.
Second, SEND ME THE CODES. I must have them. I had no idea you could do that.
Sorry if I am repeating earlier comments but I LOVE THAT RED BARN. Almost as much as I LOVED THAT WINDMILL! What a great time you look to be having there. I hope Greg is feeling better. Have a safe journey home.
Tutorial please. They are gorgeous!
Next time I am going on vacation with you. The ranch looks like Heaven!!! Glad you all had so much fun.
Love the pics. You have a photographer's eye.
Please tell me how to get my pictures bigger!
