At the Ranch

We had a nice get-together at my folks' ranch last weekend in honor of Mom's birthday. The weather was perfect! Spring is the best time of year out there--lots of shade, not too hot, everything's green and/or blooming--beautiful!

A perfect day for hangin' out on the hammock.

My crazy, beautiful KatieBug.

Pop recently built a new dog run for Duke.

The packaging served as a nice, Gran-powered sled for Coop.

My boys...enjoying the shade.

"Higher, Gran! Higher!"

"Wheeee!"
