It was so nice to be up North in the mountains. I love the crystal clear night sky's and the beautiful bright stars. I had the boys go outside during the full moon and they actually got to see their shadow. There was too much light pollution where we used to live so they loved it and it was their first time they got to appreciate the milky way. It was so Beautiful!!
Time was spent going through lots of storage we had up in Donnelly. We loaded it up and brought it with us to Wyoming.
Heading out to find our horse to meet her for the first time......that is what happens when you buy a horse while in Germany
I love walks in the pasture. That is one of my favorite things.
Here is our horse 'Haidas' Smart Chick. She was really mellow and it was so fun to be around her.
The view from East mountain heading back to Paddy Flats
The next day Joseph and his brother Josh headed back into paddy Flat and helped round up some cattle on horse back. Joseph was in heaven being on a horse again....the next day though he sure felt it. It has been a long time since he has been in the saddle
While Joseph was playing cowboy I took the kids to one of my favorite spots back there...Kennelly Creek.
The creek is crystal clear with beautiful rock formations all around
Lots of exploring and fun to be had by all
Then there was the bouldering. The boys enjoyed to be the king f the mountain.
We really enjoyed the pump water spicket. I should have got a picture of it. The boys got their hats wet and put them on and enjoyed the ice cold water. That is another one of my favorite things :)
The beautiful moss on the rocks

Back to the round up......
We later took some time to brush down our horse. The boys and Arya all got a little ride bare back and she did really good for them.
Thinking if she liked it or not....She ended up loving it and wanted more.
The Jones kiddos (the big kids)
Cousins and all
Bridger, Gideon, Samuel, Kayli, Thomas, Ashtyn, Caleb, Jessica, and Seth. So fun being with cousins
the boys played with Samuel and Ashtyn most days after they got out of school
My cute girl!
Taking a walk back on the lake.
It was fun seeing the tracks in the mud and being able to see schools of catfish in the shallow water.
Another walk in the pasture
Grandpa Jones was re-doing a few things in the pasture for better irrigation. We went out to join the fun for a while.....
Running a muck...just like they should :)
Arya with her Grandma and Grandpa Jones

Joseph in his second heaven.... farming and irrigation
Gideon was excited that he got to take his shirt.....They usually where rash guards :)
