What a FOX!

Our fox friends, Farrah Foxett, and her two babies, Des and Dale, have been out enjoying the sun lately! They have a den in a wood pile right next door and spend the sunny afternoons out playing.

Say Goodbye

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to the Donham, Bock, and Millers. My baby sister, Carson, got a little sad that her crush, the 13 year old Miller had to leave. Boomer, the dog, was sad because the earlybird, Ty, left and now he has nobody to play with in the morning besides sleeping Mattie. Now, Grandmama has no girl to that is about her age (Mooshie). And my brother and I don`t have anybody to play with. We are getting lonely already!!

Snow Mountain Ranch

  Today the Bock, Donham, and Lehane kids went to Snow Mountain Ranch with Lissie.  We had lots of fun there.  Rollerskating was our biggest hit.  At first we were like 'baby giraffes' as Lissie said, but later on we got the hang of it.  We started to make up games as we got better.  There were lots of other activities such as swimming, mini golf, crafts, ect.  In the swimming pool there is a slide that  you can go on.  Today was a great day and to top it off we had excellent sloppy joes a.k.a. 'Mooshie`s Miracle Joes.'  Everyone is looking forward to going back to Snow Mountain Ranch.

June 8, 2009

We got up close and personal with the same huge bull moose as yesterday.  He jumped our fence and almost killed the dogs.  These videos are put on www.youtube.com under wakeme2board.  We saw a marmot looking animal that we cannot identify.  That day we caught three rainbow trout in the pond in Fraser.

A young male moose came around the outside of our fence.  We saw him again in the woods.  Finally, we saw a chipmunk.  The light of my day was seeing the mama moose and two babies.   As visitors told us, the young one was THREE DAYS old!!!  The other was a year old.  Moose always follow their mothers for two years.

Fraser River Trail

     Today, we went to the wonderful beautiful Fraser River Trail with Miller, Hudson, and Hayes Donham, Ty and Spencer Bock, and Kelsey and Connor Lehane.  At the trail we had a picnic.  The picnic was wonderful.  We got to grill our own hot dogs.  The Fraser River was a beautiful sight to see. The rental bikes that we rented at Epic were perfect to ride here. The biking/hiking trails were excellent as well.  I would recommend going here any day.
