* 4th of July *

well, the 4th has come and gone. i can't even believe it's july. where does the time go? i love this time of year because it's just great for all of the festivities that go on. and boy, oh boy, have we been busy. i think life will calm down for us in a few years. :)

this weekend we went to the cabin for the hubber's family week at the cabin. we went to a rodeo (the chubber's first) and he wasn't too impressed with it. he spent the majority of the night laying his head on one of our shoulders. i thought he would have loved it because there was so much going on and he loves watching stuff. but nope - he just layed his head down and cuddled with us.

there was lots going on at the cabin this year. one of the bridges we have to cross was washed out because of all the rain so we had to take the alternate route - which doesn't get used much and is very narrow. it made for an intersting time pulling our tent trailer through it all. also, we found out while we were up there that one of the horses had a baby. no one even knew she was expecting. SURPRISE! so we went on a walk over to the horse pasture to check out the baby horse.

our tent trailer did pretty well on its first voyage into the wilderness.


"following the leader, the leader, the leader....."


this is the new baby horse. so fun to watch her follow her mama around and learn about people.

this is the bridge that was washed out. we drove over to take a look at it. it is so amazing what water can do when it does whatever it wants. such a gooey mess.



the road was washed out in so many places. made for a bumpy but fun ride.

happy (late) 4th everyone! freedom rocks!

next up: the wedding
