Scenes From A Party

On Monday we had a back to school party at GG. It was the brain child of a group of children who come out on a regular basis. They were feeling sad that summer was over and wanted to have a last hurrah before classes started again. It was a fun mixture of volunteers and kiddos. Max and I want to thank all of you for helping with the food and drinks. It all was a gustatory treat we won't soon forget. I included pictures to show how the ranch means different things to different people--we just love that. A little horseback riding.
A balance beam routine. Saddling assistance. Peanut gallery.Rocky mountain high. On Crackerjack's back.
Saving her licorice for later. Volunteers cooling off. A bonding moment.

Our niece, the horse whisperer. Hunting buddies. Caught and later released.
Follow the leader. They have him surrounded. Hammer time! Double trouble. Skinny new boy.Monkey man Matthew. Joyful Jaime.
Darren on safety patrol.
Happy Dante's first visit.
Water boy. Hay buddies. First-timer.
Tool time.

Happy rider.
Three amigas.
Break in the action. Lizard huntin'.

Piggy back ride.
Just the right fit.
Bench warmers.
Lovin' cousins.
Good times.

Looks like a good time was had by all. New boy looks like he will be a beauty after some groceries. I love seeing kids riding with those big ole smiles on their faces. Bless you all for what you do.
