Family Visit the Ranch

Aunt Muriel from Oregon & Jodie & Blake (age 3 1/2) from Montana spent a few days with us this week. It has been years since they visited here so it was a joy to see them & show Blake around the ranch.

Jodie & Blake out on the range with the bison

Blake getting a tractor driving lesson from Murray

Bye Mom! I'm off!

I think I remember how to do this!
Blake getting acquainted with Whiskers

Petting a calf in the calving barn

Learning the finer points about hay! I think this calf likes me!

In the evening Murray & Blake built a garage for the cattle liner

They just had to use up all the blocks so it even has lightning rods or .....? Work on the ranch is never done! Thanks guys for coming all that way to visit. Come again soon & we will really put Blake to work!

What a nice surprise when Jodie knocked on our door - wish she could have stayed longer for a visit. Looks like Blake is a well-seasoned farmer already around the calves and tractors! What a wonderful time.

How wonderful to have a visit from family. Looks like you showed them a great time. Great pictures - Murray looks so relaxed - the clam before the storm!!!! Spring will bring long hours and busy times!!! Always enjoy your blog updates!
