We arrived. At three a.m. Sunday morning, past the shadow of the Lost Creek barn, at the end of a ten mile gravel driveway and a 12 hour trip, we finally arrived. My kids slept fitfully (they woke up screaming every ten minutes) and I was frazzled (still recovering), but we made it. Hallelujah, Praise the Lord, and Glory to God.
Kids are amazing. They are like Energizer bunnies that keep going and going and going and going...
And they've loved every minute we've been here at my home ranch. My brother Jody has two kids close in age to my oldest and we've had so much fun with him and his family and all the family out here.

and I could go on and on about all the experiences my kids are soaking up.
We love being home on the range!
p.s. we are vitually in the middle of nowhere (I think we pulled into a gas station the other night that was called that) and access to the internet is a bit limited, so I apologize if I don't post as frequently
