This summer we were finally able to buy a house. We found one in the middle of the black hills on an acre of land. Most of it is grass. We quickly realized we needed to buy a riding lawn mower. The kids love to help daddy mow the lawn. As you can see by Keagan's face, mowing the lawn can be exhausting work.
One of our favorite family activities is to ride the ATVs around the yard and neighborhood. Since we live in the middle of a national forest, there are ATV trails that connect to our neighborhood. The kids love to go on long rides in the hills after daddy gets home from work. However, Keagan and I learned that you should always take a gas can with you when riding in the hills....Fortunately, the ATV stopped on a main dirt road and someone was nice enough to give us a ride home.
Here is our dancing Tylita in one of her favorite dresses.
1st day of school? I don't remember, but they were excited about something!
Keagan the cook is teaching Ryker the proper technique to flip a pancake. Ryker loves to cook just as much as Keagan. It's fun to have such good helpers!
Our grass field needed some structure, so we bought some fruit trees. The kiddos are standing in front of a cherry tree. It's kind of a funny looking tree with no branches yet. We had to fence all of the trees because of the deer. We watch them graze through our yard every day. It's kind of fun, but I don't want to feed them my fruit trees!
Over memorial weekend James and clan came camping with us in the hills. We camped below Hat Mtn. So of course we had to hike to the top.
Here is a marker on top of the Mtn.
Here we are on top. Beautiful views from up there!
We took the kiddos to Sheridan lake. Daddy fished, kids played in the sand and water, and mommy sat in a a chair and incubated. It was fun.
