Trip “Home” In Photos Day 1

Have you ever had Freeze Dried Ice Cream Sandwiches? You should, they are amazing, and don’t melt! We took them on our picnic in 100 degree weather.

Then of course we had to go see my favorite thing in the world, COWS! I love them, and could drive around forever looking at them, I have so many pictures of cows, it’s unreal, and some probably think I need an intervention…

Then it was off to the “lake”, I’m not sure why they call it a lake it’s more a reservoir, but it was beautiful that day!

Upper Left: Where my parents now live - NOWHERE, and it is grand!
Upper Right: The wonderful bugs they have the privilege to live with.

Then it was time for the ritual summer evening fire pit sitting, marshmallow roasting, family chatting, police scanner listening,
wonderful summer evening.

Party Time

My sister had a wonderful Graduation day from High School, and the following day we had a PARTY! It was soooo beautiful outside, I love my parents backyard it is so soothing, relaxing, and just plain beautiful. It was a fun filled day of present opening, sandwich making, and smore eating!

 

I think my sister is so ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! Congratulations, Tawni!

 

Some people thought it seemed a nice day for a nap….

I was able to snap this one right after my cousin poured ice water down my moms back… ha!

Like I said earlier, I CAN NOT get over how BEAUTIFUL it is at my parents place, in the summer that is, it’s pretty nasty in the winter time…

 

A Long One

Wow, seriously almost a WHOLE MONTH with NO POSTS?! Who am I becoming? So as a little catch up on at least this past week, get ready for photo OVERLOAD. I will be updating my 365 tomorrow. But I’m back!

This past week I’ve been in Nevada visiting my family and enjoying a great time, it’s late and I’m tired so here is a photo timeline of my vacation.

ENJOY!

The first night I was there, there was a FANTASTIC sunset

I “helped'” my brother and father work on the new rail (which is a HUGE TON of WONDERFUL FUN!)

The next couple days were filled with yard work, mainly picking rocks, vacuuming rocks, shoveling rocks, raking rocks, do you see a pattern?

I honestly can’t get over how BEAUTIFUL it is where they live.

 

My father and I took the rail up to Spruce Mountain which is an old miners town that is still in the mountains, somewhat a type of a ghost town so to speak.

I took the 4-Wheeler up the street aways, my parents live on free range land so this time of year, there are cows EVERYWHERE, and if you know me for some strange reason I LOVE, okay might be slightly obsessed with cows, my mission in cow-town might have had something to do with it.

This picture (below) is probably one of my MOST FAVORITE pictures I’ve ever taken this is straight out of the camera!

My sister graduated, which I’m still in shock about, she is NOT supposed to be that old (or grown up)

 

There were parties, and family, and it was a wonderful extremely needed vacation! Tomorrow, I’ll show off my wonderful family and lil sis’s graduation party.

Goodnight world!
