Horsin' Around

Literally we spent the weekend horsing around at Colby Van Cleave’s Ranch in New Ramer Colorado. We had a great weekend. Justin was beside himself with plenty to keep a little boy busy. The 4 of us drove out Friday afternoon with JC, Jen, Sydni, Brody and Baby Grace Van Cleave. We weren’t even in the house for 5 minutes and the boys had found the play guns. Justin was in heaven!!! He is fascinated with guns but since mom is not a big weapon fan we don’t have them at our house unless they are squirt guns. Needless to say Justin was thrilled to have them to play with while we were at the Ranch.

Country life started out early Saturday morning with the kids feeding the horses and cats with their PJ’s on. After breakfast Grandpa Colby saddled up the horses and the kids spend the morning riding around the pasture. Even Jen, Dwight and I rode for a while.

The rest of the weekend was spent riding the 4 wheeler, tractors, the John Deere Gator, bikes, racing the remote control cars and having fun on the ranch.

Both our kids were exhausted and slept the entire drive home. As we got ready to leave Colby told Justin he was “welcome anytime”. Justin’s is already talking about his “next trip to the ranch”.
