VACATION - Part 1

After 2+ years of working on the house and farm (not to mention the exhausting task of raising small children), we treated ourselves to a vacation in October.  We drove to Sheridan, Wyoming, where we visited with Jordan’s longsuffering (emphasis on the suffering!) grandparents.  Sheridan is beautiful, and we loved spending time with Grandpa Frank & Grandma Bobi, who were very good sports to let the kids “play” in (i.e. do their best to destroy) their home.  Thane, especially, loved hanging out with Grandpa & Grandma, while Annabel enjoyed playing with their dog Bailey.

 

Annabel even got to ride Big Mac, Grandpa’s horse.  This was probably one of the greatest thrills of her little life, and it appears that Big Mac might be getting a new home here in Washington later this spring.  She will be delighted, and there's no word on how the horse feels yet!

The weather in Wyoming was just beautiful – perfect Indian summer weather.  We took the kids to a local park one day, where Thane had his first ride on a swing and a slide.  He was hooked!  Annabel, as always, loved the outdoor games and jungle gyms.

If you ever get a chance to get to Sheridan, it’s beautiful.  The town is full of wonderful western shops, there are historic sites and battlefields nearby, the cafés are abundant and the scenery is just gorgeous.
