Playing with Daihja

Finally Sam has found someone to wrestle with - Ben & Carlee aren't quite big enough to fight back yet

Hotel pool

 This is one of the hotels we stayed at on our trip to Canada. They really needed to burn off some energy that night!

Snapshots of kids

These photos are from one of the first FB posts I ever made.  They are photos taken at our stops in Phoenix and Saskatchewan which was when we took the long way on our move across the country from CA to NC.

Ben & Matty at the ranch

Sam was a big helper with the horses. They all fed the horses carrots and none of them had any fear of the big horses, they had a great time.

From FB comments:

William: The pooch isn't looking so happy...

Me: haha that was funny. There was another dog there and they were snarly at each other trying to protect the carrots that they stole from the kids, the same carrots that the kids took back from the horses.

William: carrots can bring out the worst in people and creatures alike...
