4th of July at the Ranch


Elly got on the horse with Zan, Ysabel and Fords grandma. Elly could sense that I didn't know much about horses and wouldn't get on with me or Andy. Zan is much more experienced with horses considering she grew up there. What a great time we had, we couldn't of asked for a more beautiful, tranquil, and fun place to spend our 4th of July. (Thanks Zickgraf and Harris family for such a wonderful time!)

Cindy and Kristie taking the kids on a ride.

Andy and myself road the horses up to this beautiful look out. It was absolutely beautiful!
There was a volleyball tournament that we played in. We had a blast and came home with $$$$, new T-shirts, and the title as champions. (Kristie wants everyone to know that the shirts were large and that she is wearing shorts :)

After the parade the the town put on the cutest little carnival for the kids. Here Ysabel and Elly are taking a ride on the mini fairus wheel. The girls loved it.
Elly decided to sit down and gather her candy in between her legs. Ysabel on the on other hand just saw a bear mascot from a school and didn't like what she saw. Can you see the fear in her eyes as she runs screaming to her mom.

Small town fourth of July was the best. The parade was quaint and full of tonz of fun. From loads of candy (which the kids loved) to horses and the locals.

Mary I love the picture of Elly sitting on the road with her candy happy as can be and Izabel running for her life, it really captured that moment of the Soda Springs Parade. I am so glad you guys came it wouldn't have been the same without you. Love ya, Cindy
