The Ranch

We always like going with Joshua's extended family to the Ranch. This is a picture of Vicky, who  was Grandma Mary Lois' angel caretaker. 

Charles, his aunt Alissa, and friend Megan.

Playing

Being carried is nice when you are tired

This is probably the only time in his life when his hair was parted.

Hello, horse.

Hi, Charles

Travel by backpack

Do you think he actually jumped in?

Drinking from the spring through a straw

At least the dirt is cleaner out there

Aunt Alissa loves horses

Outdoor bathing

This may have been a pine cone. 

We had a great game of whiffle ball.  Into the trees on the other side of the dirt road was an automatic home run.

Charles loved petting the horses, though sometimes they frightened him.
