.labor day weekend.

We spent Labor Day weekend at the Ranch in Idaho. It was in honor of Grandpa Warner's Birthday celebration. We enjoyed all the family time we spent together. We went on a motorcycle ride as a family.

Josh's constantly taking Brynn along on rides has paid off and she now loves to go. She has Dad take her on rides every chance she gets.

The boys each had their own viechicle to ride. Gage rode the 4-wheeler and TJ the motorcycle.


Once at the top we decided to turn around. TJ tipped over his bike right on the mud on the way down!

He was a muddy mess and was pretty embarassed.




Brynn enjoyed rides on the aligator.


A page I borrowed from Sherrie's blog.



more aligator fun...





Gage (with a little help from Mom) set up the tent for the boys to sleep in at night.

I was pretty proud of them when they slept outside all night by themselves!


They set up a HUGE waterslide and everyone had fun slipping down.




TJ and the boys spent a lot of time hunting for snakes. They caught a couple including this small one. I was relieved when they decided to let the go rather than bring them home. whew!



One afternoon Josh took us on a motorcycle ride to Grace. My Grandparents are both burried there and we spopped at the cemetary to visit.



a stop at the black canyon river along the drive.


more slide fun...




While Brynn didn't slide down, she had fun with the tube and the tumbleweeds.

Oh ok, waterslide... that explains the half-naked picture of Josh and the other guy. I though you had some mud-wrestling going on. I'm more than a little relieved. What a fun trip, you got some great pictures as usual!
