Dinner Time

Ray took me in the BLM truck with him for the day. We drove around and looked at the water holes the ranchers should have filled with water. He found a bunch of cows in trespass. I was the scribe as he used his binoculars and called out the numbers in each of the cows' (or bulls') ears. We worked for over two hours. He drove through the cows, stopped, called out numbers, and I wrote them down. As we were finishing the last group of cows, we stopped in the middle of the road doing the work. Suddenly a truck honked real loud. Right behind us was one of the ranchers coming to rescue his cows. There was a mis-understanding about when the cows were to be removed. All of our hard work was in vain. Ray didn't put in the trespass. We were there for dinner time, however. Oops! Where did the calves go?

We had a good time. And the kids wonder what Grandpa does with his time at the BLM.

More Family Reunion

Linda is taking a load off her feet as she maxes and relaxes.

The girls made watch bracelets while the men went golfing. Amy Jo is taking over Misty's baby monitor. I don't know why.

Jennifer was a good sport to attend. Plans were for a baby to come as soon as the reunion ended.

Michael thought this was more fun than tracting in Moscow.

This was home for three nights. KOA campgrounds

Family Reunion

We held our family reunion in Richfield on June 10th -13th. Skip and Amy Jo hosted it for us. Skip held a potato derby. You see the entrees above.

Thomas brought his go cart. Grandpa and Tyler are having a good time in it.

John and Misty's Brinley is having a good time taking it all in.

Here we are as a group. It was a fun time and we enjoyed it immensely. There was a lot of rain and it seemed that we were able to get in the go cart riding, golfing (by the men), the derby races, and family pictures all at just the right time. As we headed back to the center for inside games, it started a down pour.
