Ranching Heritage Days

One of the nice things about our area is the Ranching Heritage Center. Once a year they have "Ranch Days" where kids can come and learn how it used to be done in the west. Everything from riding ponies to washing laundry...they get to see/experience it all. This year was fun because Nicholas and Christian got to actually experience it all and have fun. Nicholas has done some of the stuff in the past, but for the most part he was scared and didn't want to participate. This year was different because he wanted to do all the stuff, and Christian wanted to do everything that his big brother did.

Ropin' the dogies...I looked, but could not figure out what happened to the picture taken of Nicholas doing this...I'll keep looking.
The boys with Daddy. They have their stick horses that they made in their hands.

Doing laundry the old way...here Nicholas is drying his cloth.

We made corn husk dolls--boy dolls--for the boys.
Happy boys rolling along in their stroller.
Putting mud on the log cabin to "insulate" it. Christian wanted no part in this.

We had a great Saturday afternoon with Daddy. He will be gone this weekend, so we were getting in as much fun as possible. After this we went to McAlister's for lunch. Yummy!
