Cowgirl Alexus - North Powder July 16 th - 20th

Our entire family except Calvin and James went to see my dads brothers and their families in Oregon. Our parents used to take me and Theresa every summer for our vacation. Every time we went they always had cows to move, doctor or work in one way or another. This time was no exception. When we pulled up at the corral Aunt Leslie had two horses saddled and ready to go for the boys to ride. They got out of the car and rode for a couple hours - until Uncle Dale got there and said there were a couple herds of cows that needed to be moved. So we loaded up 2 four wheelers and 2 horses and off we went. When we arrived at the pasture we had the 2 horses and the 2 four wheelers and the following people - Uncle dale, my dad, Me, Alexus, Theresa, Royce, Chase, Zack, Cody and Kevin. The cows didn't have a chance well really all we had to do was open the gate and the cows just moved pastures on there own. All this with in the first few hour of getting there. And the remaining days were just as busy. I will let the pictures do the talking:

Alexus and Pa paw how cuteEveryone watching as the boys try to rope a calfThe kids eating on Uncle Dales deckLindsey, Alexus and Dalee Jo playing the "shampoo game" they would take turns sitting on the balls and pretend to shampoo and style each others hair. They made this up on their own and played for hours. It was so cute
