Brent informed us that the cows needed moved up at the ranch. We were all excited to go and help out. We loaded the horses and 4-wheeler, packed a lunch, and headed up.
The girls and I spent the first part of the day on the 4-wheeler. I walked while Dalanie drove and we tried to push some of the cows. We didn't get too far before we went to recruit help.
The hills were so dry. We were hoping that they had gotten some of the rain clouds that hit the valley.
To wrap the day up, the kids got to ride and drive the cows through the pasture.
They just ride along and chit chat like best of friends. They look so comfortable and natural in the saddle.
Ruby on the other hand always got squished in the saddle with a much less comfortable ride.
I was grateful for the chance for our little family to go together. Few things make my heart want to explode more than spending a beautiful day together. And looking back in the pickup to see dirty little faces nodding off to sleep. And a stop for icecream where the girls take daddy by the hand and walk to the shop together. And seeing the smiles on their sun-kissed faces through their unkempt hair.
