Another great life lesson the kids encountered while at the cabin was this colt that was only a few hours old. The mother is one of Pat's horses and they brought her and the colt to the old coral near the cabin. We got to watch it still trying to get it's legs underneath it. Mom sat down once, but as soon as baby got up so did she to be right by it. The next day they ventured into our yard to eat. Mom would let someone pat her, but not get too close to the colt.
One great part of this year's trip was getting to be there with so much family. Chris' aunt Elaine, uncle Steve and aunt Gloria, and his sister Kathy and our nephew Weston were able to be there also. One afternoon we joined Steve on one of his wanderings to find a stream to fish. While he fished the kids found part of the stream to play in. Do you know how cold that water is?! It was snow shortly before they played in it! We couldn't keep Reese out of it, of course, and eventually had to take her jeans off. They all quickly kicked off their shoes and played and played!
Grandad arranged for a ride on the town's fire engine. It was a big hit with the kiddos! Elle even found those cool shades!
