VACATIONING
Well I am a bit late in sharing our fun adventure to New Mexico, Arizona and to Colorado.
Our first stop was New Mexico to see my Mom and Dad on the ranch that they just moved to early in the year.

Our first morning there we were greeted with the yearlings bawling and the hooping and haulering of the cowboys.
Now all the times we went to work with Dad on the ranch growing up, I was never a part of a shipping. So this was quite a treat!
Even though there is nothing special about it, there is just something about hearing those cattle bauling.
I really enjoyed watching the truck roll in the yearling getting seperated, and Dad climbing fences in a way that is pretty quick.
It is alway a treat to watch Dad do his magic where ever he is working.

Of course pictures have to be taken when they can.
I just love Mom and Dad's little cottage. It is a very cute and it fits Mom and Dad well.
Alicia loved playing with the cat and dog until she found out they shed all over you. Then she didn't care much for them.
Mom has become another Annie Oakley(well kinda). Just had to get her carring her pistol.

Papa David had a opportuntiy to show Alicia how to play marbles. That was quite a treat!
We did alot of exploring on the ranch with with Mom and Dad. Mom found alot of rocks that sure looked like they had a pretty unique job to do for the Indians.
Jube did find some rocks that were grinding wholes, that the Indians had used.
In all of our searching no one found an arrowhead, until the very end when we were walking back to the truck and there it was just right for the picken for Papa David.



We had alot of fun with Mom and Dad. They gave us the great tour of the ranch.
