Splitting wood

 We all wanted to go home (us kids) But Dad said, there is a lot of wood down there that needs split...So we went to work at splitting it, so we could go home. :)

(Note: These pictures are very out of order.)

 But in the proses...I'm not sure how much we had done, and had to do yet...But the splitter ran out of gas.

 Buster was bored so he barked like a....dog! :P

 Kelvin, now running him...

 Sue was feeling tough with a wittle log!

 ...So, it ran out of gas...but after the refill it just refused to start back up!

Our Mom is the "toughest" Mother! ;)

 The girls found some massive rocks back in the woods...

The Bowens

The Bowen's came hunting...Well, it's been several weeks ago now. :)

 8yrsold Spencer shot the biggest buck! scored 350" Great job Spencer!!

 Sitting around the fire...or I guess it's more like standing.

 Dad was having fun lighting off firecrackers...!

 And then he lit a bunch of sparklers for the kiddos.

 Um...Well yeah, it's true we give you a work out at KG Deer Ranch!

 Even the kids work/play hard too.

Thanks for coming again ya'll! We had fun!!

The Yoders came to the Ranch

 ...And on their way the Titanic (their van) decided to sink. You can read the whole story here

Some of us went on a walk down the railroad tracks.

 Sheila and Audrey

 Okay, everyone line up on the rail...It was almost like dominoes when one person slipped off....

 Sonya, Sheila, Nevin, Miles, Brady, Susanna, Shannah, Trent, and Kelvin.

 Walking back...

Sam is 5!

 Samantha Kay Glick

She turned 5yrsold on Oct, 18

 These are her friends that were born the same year she was. (She's in the red)

 Her ride must have got a little bumpy....See the white running down Dad's head?

 She proved it. You can eat corn-on-the-cob with out any teeth!

 ....And she still has a big loud mouth. (It's the "Glick" coming out of her. Just saying...)

 Daddy's girls. Serena and Samantha.

 Sam and Kelvin

 Sam and Serena

 She's the only one who sucked her thumb, and still does!

 She was so excited to turn 5.
