Updates

I will try and fill in the questions you have asked...I may not send many pictures because they have wireless but it is really slow...

Okay so we got here Saturday at 4:30.  It was freaking cold.  High for the day was 51.  Yep that was the high.  We chilled with Kathy and Ben for the evening.  John was working on a can smasher for Ben.  The smasher is pretty cool, it makes the cans flat fast!

The sunset was pretty amazing.  Possibly the best I have yet experienced in RV.  Tonight may rival it however.  We will see.

Sunday, I woke up at 5:10 and watched the sunrise.  Again wonderful.  Alison and I walked around and listened for the kids to wake up.  They didn't wake up till 8:10.  3 hours of  walk around time was sweet. 

Sunday evening we did dishes and let Zach play outside for hours.  He had so much fun he didn't know what to do with himself.  The cats in the tree house are a huge temptation.  He climbs up there with no problem at all, grabs a kitten or two and tosses them out of the tree house and climbs down.  Give him credit, those baby kittens wiggle something fierce when you hold them by the neck.

So monday I woke up at 5:25.  I walked around the house again and Alison got a great walk in.  Zach got a huge bloody nose and woke up Andi at 5:45 screaming.  Sadly I didn't really check on him for about 5 minutes.  I photographed birds and flowers.  Monday evening we helped the Neffs pack and get ready. 

Tuesday morning we were going to go to the refuge but decided against it because we wanted to be there when they left.  So I hiked up around the mill area looking for sparrows and photographed amazing clouds.  Tuesday even we went and saw a movie.  Indiana Jones 3.  It was good, but parts were pretty hokey.  Ben got to start 4 movies.  I think we haven't heard anything else from him except that.  We got taco time and blizzards at DQ.  They were pretty good.  That was my first trip ever to DQ.

Wednesday Morning I explored the old school house and found more wild flowers to photograph.  I got up at 5:00.  I took a three our nap to lunch.  Today we are going camping.  Later I will give you the update on that.  I am working on pictures as well.  They are looking dang great.

Oh yesterday We got Kailin to tend the kids.  They have never been better for anyone else.  I am amazed.  I offered to pay her 20 dollars (we were gone 6 hours) and she and her mom said that was to much and took only 10.  Oh well what can I do.  I would have paid her 5 dollars an hour, but she took on 1.75. 

Also I have been checking cows that are supposed to have babies any minute.  So I saw a calf 3 hours old.  The thing could barely stand up.  It was dang cute!

Zach also got to help me feed some sick cows grain.  He thought that was the most amazing thing.  He also got to drive the huge truck, that was pretty fun as well. 

That is it for now.  I will let you know more later. 

P.s. Zach and Andi love to try and eat the dog food.  I understand Andi, but we feed Zach great food...

On our way...

Well I have worked a good week so far and now I am heading home to head out to Great Basin National Park and eventually Ruby Valley Nevada.  These two places should give us a good deal of peace and quite and some nice photos maybe.  I am excited.  I am always excited however to get out and photograph.  Ruby Valley is possibly my favorite place to photograph.  I hope that I find a plethora of new and exciting pictures out there this trip.  I would move back if I could but I just can't find a real great job there.  Oh well.  Maybe fortune will turn our way on the Job thing out there...
