Guns, Rhino's, and Fun

This spring we went up to Monte Cristo to hang out with my sister Jennie. They were up there camping with family. It was a wonderful camp site. Turns out, it belongs to a guy Rick works with (Dave Lee), who just happens to be Jennie’s second cousin (small world.) It was quite the surprise. The kids had some firsts up there. Corbin got to shoot a gun for the first time…..And….He liked it. Guess he’s a Gatten after all. Dang it!

Chantel got to drive her first Rhino, and she shot a gun for the first time….And I didn’t get a picture of either…Dang! But, here are her and her cousin Austin headed out for a ride on the Rhino.

Chantel has had a great time getting to know Austin.  It's been fun for her to have a cousin her age to hang out with.

Oh, Chantel also dyed her hair brown too. Just a little, FYI

We all took a ride on the Rhino, and got to see the beautiful scenery.  Some of us had more fun than others. *wink* Oh, and another FYI, Rick broke his foot.  More on that in my next post.

We got a little more excitement than we bargained for while we were there. A couple of guys that were invited up, left after the BBQ and headed for home. However, they didn’t make it far before one of them crashed his bike. He was a lucky one, only a bit of road rash. The ambulance came and hauled him off and his bike got put on a trailer to be hauled home.

Well, it sure gave us all something to talk about.

It was great to hang out with Jennie and Troy again.  I also got to meet several members of her family including her mom, step-dad, aunts, and cousins. That was really fun.

Here is Jennie with her grandparents.  They were just darling.  I really enjoyed them.

We really had a great time.  There is nothing like a good group of people, new experiences, a little excitement, nature, and great food.  Did I mention these yummy Snookies Jennie's mom made?  OUT OF THIS WORLD.....YUMMMMY!  Two thumbs way up for Big Horn Ranch.
