Home on the Plains

It was an absolutely gorgeous day out on the plains of Colorado!  I mean, don’t get me wrong, there could still have been less wind, but considering…

Look at that sky!

We went into Grant this morning for Bible study and then we grabbed some Subway and headed to the park with friends!

Lunch with some cuties!

The kids played and played and played some more…and Wryder may or may not have fallen out of the stroller because he wasn’t buckled properly.  Ahem.  We weren’t moving at the time and he’s fine, thankfully.  This has been one of those weeks where he’s gotten a little banged up.  He fell out of a little chair on Sunday and bonked his noggin, scraped his chin and cheek on the dollhouse, cut his nose with his fingernail and then the stroller fiasco.  Maybe I should put him in a padded room?!  Maybe he’s just a boy…

Post park, we loaded up and headed home to play outside some more.  Even the chickens enjoyed this beautiful day.  They were all out pecking around and took turns playing king of the mountain.

How cute are they?

Daddy did some chores while Sawyer and I dug in the dirt, jumped on the trampoline and “baked some cakes” in the barn.  Then, it was pony time!

Be still my heart...

We rode out into the far pasture and I think the goat’s a little a out of shape.  She was panting like crazy as I stopped to snap a few pics…

Heavy breather...

Sawyer has really good balance and is really comfortable on Ozark and I’m still having to pry Wryder’s little hands off of the saddle horn when it’s time to call it quits.

I'm a cowboy, baby...

Tomorrow’s forecast is calling for temps in the 80’s!   I’m thinkin’ we’ll be doing it all again tomorrow…
