BAERS VISIT

Bill, Lesley, Andrew, Aiden, Walker, and Avery came up to our place for a visit.  And what a great time we had.  There was of course horseback riding, hiking, fishing, kayaking, hopscotch, golf frisbee, and lots of great meals.  The kids had to keep the turkeys out of the yard and they did a pretty darn good job of that.  But they are back in the yard now that the kids are gone though.  We also got to see a lot of deer while they were here, and a fawn spent some time eating in the yard - both grass and Connie's flowers!  There was a lighting storm while they were here and a fire was started about a mile from our place.  A neighbor found the tree that was hit and called the fire department while starting to build a fire line.  It could have been bad as we are in a drought and there are many fires already burning around here.

Bill Cody was Andrew's mount most of the time. 

Walker and Avery was pretty happy with Baylee as their bronc.

As Bill says, Avery is all girl.

Ready for church.

A few marshmallows were roasted and a lot of smores were eaten.

We spent a day at Lake Como kayaking.  This was the first time their two kayaks were in the water.

Lake Como is starting to get pretty low so much of the good sandy beach is not by the water.  But it was not crowded that is for sure.

Avery had just to much fun and had to take a nap.

At Burnt Fork Lake doing a little hiking and fishing.

Aiden was the only one to have a bite so I would say the fishing was not so good.

Walker showed a lot of patience though.

Hopscotch was a daily occurrence and some real competition.
