Notable Cow

This calf was born to the grandma herd on the Pawlet when we lived there four years ago.  Bailey’s kept it as a bucket calf because it couldn’t nurse properly because of its crooked neck.

When we went to the Pawlet for a branding we saw her again and she had a calf of her own.  I think she’s something of a pet now; she wasn’t scared of me at all.  Funny old girl.

Eggs

I went out to gather eggs the other day and found this cute little guy.  I’m loving our chickens.  I’m sad though because they aren’t laying so great since we went on vacation.  I don’t think they were cared for very well while we were gone.  Hopefully I will get them nursed back to health soon because I love these colorful eggs!

Last Stop

The last stop on our family vacation was Erica and Doug’s house in Dubois, WY for Sunday dinner.  We wish we would have had more time to spend in their pretty mountain town.

5th Leg

Teton Valley was our next stop.  We had a fun time fishing in the river by Richard and Corinne’s house.

Grandpa helped catch a couple fish and Grandma helped grill them and the boys loved eating them.

Grandpa also took us on a wagon ride at the Bar T Five.

4th Leg

Washington was our next destination.  We swam everyday.  I miss having a private pool.  And the view from the bluff always amazes me.

We also celebrated Dallie’s birthday in Washington.  Being the only girl had its benefit as she didn’t have to share any of her dolly presents.

The boys spent lots of time on the motorcycles and in the tree house.
