Hardware Ranch

I didn't realize how close I was to the horse. All of a sudden there's this huge horse breathing and making noises down my neck. I jumped. And high-tailed it out of there. I was told by someone when I was little that if you get too close to a horse, it'll bite your hand off. It probably isn't true but I didn't want to risk it.

Do you feel a draft, Bill?

Jack was there...just in the carseat on the floor of the sleigh.

Olivia, Becky, Davis and Hitler...er Chandler. (Chandler got a bloody nose and he looked like hitler. It was so funny.)

My sister and her husband and kids came out for Christmas. We had such a fantastic time! Jason came out on Christmas Eve because he had to do some work but I was able to enjoy Becky and the kids a few days before he came out. We headed out on Monday for a place called Hardware Ranch. We took a sleigh ride around some elk (we told the kids it was reindeer he he). Didn't expect it to be like a little sleigh ride that went in 3 circles and a huge lecture on Elk. It was pretty intense going there too. A huge snow storm happened on our way there (took 45 min. which is normally a 15 min. drive) and there wasn't a good spot to turn around. It was actually scary but we made it to and from safely and had a fun, crazy memory to remember!
