Hardware Ranch & a Visit from Gram gram and papa

While my mom and dad were here we decided to take a day trip up to Logan and to Hardware Ranch. First we stopped for lunch and there aren't many times we get to Logan that we don't eat Chinese at Mardarin Garden because the food is so good. The kids had some time to entertain themselves while we waited for our food.

This is of coarse how it works I get a good picture of Rigs but not Hallie and vice versa

Hallie loved having her grandma around to read and play with....they even nap together

Every time I tried to get a picture of Gracie she cried and we laughed,,,,mean probably but once I stopped trying to take a picture she was fine.

Rigs was more than willing to share some of his many faces for me to take a picture

After our bellies we full we headed up to Hardware Ranch the kids watched a movie to we didn't hear from them very often if at all they were pretty zoned

Once we got there we got everyone dressed warm and went to get in line. 

They were all so fascinated with the horses it was hard to get them to all pay attention for a picture so we got what we could 

Here are the 3 little owls plus Kinley who now has a hat coming her way(grandma is going to make her one)

Our little Family

Papa helped keep track of these 2

Rigs was so funny when we got out in the Elk he was so excited and said hi elk, how ya doing elk, and best of all when he said watch out elk I come shoot you. This kid is a character

Last time we went there were about 200 head of elk and this time there was over 500. They came really close to the sleigh which made it really fun for all of us to see them that close.

After we got off our ride we were able to pet the horses that pull the sleigh and then we stopped to warm up next to the fire before we headed home

It didn't take long for these 3 to be sound asleep on the way home. It had been a long day full of fun and family. It was such a great day we are loving having Matt home and Gram gram and papa here to spend time with us.
