Easter Camping 2011

We took our annual Easter camping trip to the ranch this April. I think we stayed about 5 days this year (last year was 8 and it was about 3 weeks before Josh was born... way too long and way too pregnant). We had a blast! Josh did great in the trailer and napped like a champ, so Mom got some time to sit in a lawn chair and veg! Our friend Rich and his daughter Isabella came up to play too. The girls had such a good time adventuring around the ranch. It is so beautiful and relaxing up there. We are so blessed to have that place to go escape to!

These pics are in no particular order...

Jman and I had some morning playtime in the trailer:) Addie, Isabella, Kailee and the pups by the campfire.

Daddy and Jman!

Uncle Rich!Easter morning!!!! So glad the bunny found us!!

The great Easter Egg Hunt!

That crazy bunny even hid eggs in the trees!

We take ear protection very seriously around here:) Practicing with her new .22. That girl can shoot. It's pretty amazing!

Lounging with Dad on the hammock. We all really like this spot. Shady and comfy:)This is our cow dog. He can't stand when the cows come close to camp and will immediately start barking and chasing them. He really likes when he has them all at bay and can just keep watch.

Normally the cows are scared to death if any of us go near them. This group was exceptionally brave. They came right up to be fed!

They even let Addie pet them!And Mike gave him a kiss on his little cow nose!

These are Mike's sisters, Stephanie and Stacie with the kids at the old homestead on the ranch.

This is what peacefulness looks like to me. How gorgeous is that??? The momma gets to have some fun too:) Joshie in his "nest". The kid had the BEST naps. Must have been the fresh air. BFF's, a ranch dog and his girl. CANNOT wait to do it again!
