"Emma, How Much do you LOVE The Ranch?"

Emma's reply, "THIS MUCH!"

Need I say more. I love this girl. She is so full of life I LOVE it. This picture was taken yesterday at the ranch. I asked her that question while she was washing the four wheelers with daddy. She was a huge help to him.

This is our second time going up to the Ranch within two weeks. We had so much fun on Labor Day weekend up there that we decided to go again this past weekend. The weather is beautiful in McCall at this time of year. The days are perfect weather, and the nights are cold and crisp and in the morning we get to build a fire. We are grateful that we have such a place to escape to from everyday life here in Boise. The Breinholts were up in Donnelly with Mike's parents and so they came to spend the day with us on Saturday and we had a blast with their family. We rode Hawkeye, played horseshoes, Becca and I played Speed which was so fun, and Tyler and Mike went on a long four wheeler ride to the lookout point and got a tour of it. We went and played on the awesome rope swing. I could go on and on, but we had a blast with them! The kids loved it too. Here are some pictures from the past two times of going to the Ranch.Holding his tool while ridin' his horse. Boy through and through. If we let Burke he would've driven the four wheeler by himself- he loved it!

We ate dinner at the park on Payette Lake one night

Emma with cousins Kennedy and SydneyEmma loving walking through the cold river!Here is the after the river picture where we had to walk through a bunch of sand to get back to the four wheeler. Burke sat quietly at the river bank totally engrossed in the millions of rocks right under his nose. Needless to say, he ate a bunch of sand that night sucking it off the rocks he'd found.This is his "innocent face".

Thanks so much Becca and Mike for coming over to spend the day with us, we had a great time!!
