Levi on the small tractor that all of the cousins used to drive when we were little.
Mount Baker saying a little hello.
Levi liked Uncle Gerrit's salad at Bob's.
We went to the Deming Logging Show! The Deming Logging Show raises money for the "Busted Up Loggers." I didn't make that up.
Sheri, Kevin, and I wait anxiously for the Deming Logging Show to begin.
We had lunch while we waited. Yummy yummy salmon. A baked potato. Coleslaw (yuck!). Bread. Baked beans. A tasty red punch.
These two guys cut down this log while balancing on these little boards!
Starting the Deming Logging Show with a prayer for those who had lost loved ones in the woods, for safety for the upcoming year, and for safety in the competitions.
Back on the balance boards. They have to cut down the logs and try to hit the little orange cones on the ground.
One of the relay races. They had to run across these logs in the water as part of the race. So many people fell in but I didn't get any pictures of them because I was laughing so hard.
They had the two fastest tree climbers. They went up those logs so quickly! And then came back down so fast too!
We had some really good strawberry shortcake too! Kevin liked his so much that he couldn't wait for the photo.
These kids did the log roll. The water looked so cold!
They're doing the "Ma and Pa Saw." The lady in white is 4 months pregnant!
The clown climbed the tall tree and did a little show. His "wife" eventually came and "shot" him out of the tree.
A manly logger chopping the log.
Adults doing the log roll.
The "Hot Saws." They connect massive engines to a saw and can saw through that huge log in less than 2 seconds. Crazy (and loud)!
Hey Mount Baker!
Ashley giving her horse Rusty a pep talk before we started out. She was afraid that he was going to die on the trail.
Uncle Wayne teaching Uncle Gerrit how to properly put a saddle on a horse after he had done it wrong. :)
We were supposed to see some of the islands off the coast and the Pacific but as you can see it was a bit cloudy. We were most definitely in the cloud.
Eating lunch by Lake Lily. My toes felt like they were about to fall off at this point.
On my horse Sugar.
Heading towards home.
Driving back from horseback riding. What you don't see is Uncle Gerrit sitting next to me yet. All of us were in the cab of a pickup. Quite illegal but I felt like I was home again.
Grilling steaks at Berthusen Park with my uncle and aunt's small group.
The kids working on smores.
Congratulations Sheri on getting married!
My friend Sarah and her boys came up to the farm for the day from Seattle. Playing with kittens.
Trying not to kill the kittens.
Sarah helped Ashlee fix the riding lawnmower.
Swinging at the farm.
Checking out the calves.
Family photo.
Later that night, he asked his mom, "Can you just leave me on a farm?"
A boy after my own heart - loving the Woods.
Sunset from the farm.
The view opposite of the sunset.
