We went on our annual Fall cattle drive, with the Idaho Cattleman’s association.  We go with Eldean Holliday and Elwood Clark, friends and neighbors.

Tay finishes cycling merit badge!

Over the summer, Tay has gone on 2-10 mile bike rides; 2-15 mile bike rides; and 2- 25 mile bike rides.  We have gone on most of those with him as a family!

IMG_0514 Moe joined the group for the last ride Tay needed to get his cycling merit badge!  After 2 flat tires on this ride, and lots of walking to get the bikes fixed, we finished the ordeal!@<>

Pigeon baby update

DSC_4417

Our baby pigeons grew up and flew away!  This picture was taken a few weeks before they flew off.  In the meantime, the mother laid 2 new eggs and they have now hatched!  The new pigeons are very light gray and should fly off in 4-6 weeks!
