Camping/Easter at the Ranch

As most of you know, we went camping for 8 days at our ranch near Clovis. Yes, I am insane for thinking that was a good idea and 34+ weeks preggo. No, I will never ever do that again. Overall, it was fun, just long. We had lots of adventures and the "Easter Man" (that's what Addie has dubbed the Easter Bunny) did manage to find us out in the wilderness. Below is a collection of pics from the trip.

Some of the fantastic weather we encountered. Rain and hail. Really????? Yes, really.

A shooting lesson Making ice cream in the ice cream maker ball. Notice the sunshine. We really had every kind of weather.

It was quite the adventure. One we will all remember, especially my poor mother who was a trooper the entire time.
