Fun at the Farm

This weekend we went back up to the farm, and had a grand ol' time! We got up there earlier than usual, which was great, and got to see the new shop that Mike and Misty are building. We also watched a movie with them, and had a good nights sleep. The next morning we went on a bike ride with our awesome road bikes all the way up to Deer Cliff Inn. It is so beautiful up there, that is definitely where we want to end up someday. Overall it was a 14mile ride, not too shabby eh?

Riding up in Idaho

Then we went for a horse ride to take two of the horses from Grandpa's to our uncle and aunt Doug and Debbie Porter's house. It was one of the most difficult horse rides ever! My horse Dolly was spooked at everything, probably from Grandpa's dog Katie jumping up and biting her in the nose while I was on her I might add. A little bit of bucking went on, but nothing I couldn't handle, though I was throughly mad at the dog. Nathan's horse Leo wouldn't go after a while, as neither would mine. So we got off and led the horses for awhile. I then got back on Leo, and Nathan led Dolly. He didn't want to be chaffed and sore, and I wanted to ride, so we both were happy, and we got to be together.

After taking the horses to the Porters, we had a great visit with Aunt Debbie, she is such a sweetie. Then we did an activity that I have turned out to be okay at. We went skeet shooting! For those who don't know what that is, it is using a shotgun to shot clay disks out of the air. Once I figured out how to aim, I hit four! Pretty good for never having shot a gun before! Nathan was great too, and hit lots of the skeet. We love visiting the farm and all the neat outdoor things there are to do up there. P.S. just so everyone knows, you cannot return artillery if you buy the wrong gage (trust us, we did it, and we tried, luckily Doug had a 20gage so the shells didn't go to waste).

Shooting at skeet, fun, but make sure you hold the gun right, it has a bit of a kick, and can leave a bruise if you don't hold it right (or even if you do:) ) Mike and Tate are in the background.

Misty Porter, shooting a 12gage and look at her cute baby bump! They are due in October! Being pregnant hasn't stopped her much:)
