We watched "Marley and Me" last weekend and I like the part where they fast-forwarded through some of the early days of their new life. This post has a bit of that feel to it...lots of stuff, with few words...probably more enjoyable from the reader's perspective!
We love flowers and hikes.
Honey-do projects are messy.
Glider swings and faces should not connect.
Wild irises are beautiful.
Caitin really want's one of these.
Daddy got one of these.
Specifically to get these.
Camping in the off-season can be free.
Camp-sites with playgrounds and beaches are fun!
Found them in one of their good moments together.
Blow that fire, Dad!
Wish we could have got more zzzzz's.
Tents are fun.
Jamie is always one to enjoy whatever situation she finds herself in.
Bet you can't guess who requested this event to be part of the trip...!
After my little bike ride escapade, I helped the girls catch and ride horses. When Caitin was Jamie's age, she got on the horse for about 10 seconds before she got scared and was DONE. 
Caitin is done being scared too. She even preferred to ride by herself while I led the horse around. Here she's riding Missy.
And here she's getting real brave leading Missy back to pasture! 
Look at that girl!
What would vacation be without trampoline time? Ring-around-the-rosies was the game of the day!
So what do you do before you leave for home on Monday? You ride the horses one more time for good measure! This time we rode Red. 
While I was out cycling, Ralph, Wes, and Michael started building this greenhouse. They framed it all up, and then by the time I joined in the fun it was time to cover it with plastic...in the wind and threatening rain. The pvc frame twisted and folded in the wind when we gave it some surface area. We propped it up with a few boards and crossed our fingers. It stayed vertical overnight, but by Sunday afternoon it was all folded up again. We pulled the ox out of the mire and then they finished up Monday while I packed up to leave.
