Rednecks

We might like to get dressed up every now and then and enjoy a fine meal, but really, our family has got plenty of red on our necks.  Well, most of that comes from my side of the family.  As Jared says, "you can take the girl out of Pleasant Valley, but you can't take the PV out of the girl."  So true. 

And we like it that way!

 

We love us a good tire swing.

And a little fourwheeling action always makes for a good time.

But Boom Pa really takes the cake in this category.  Like my mom pointed out, "if your mode of transportation on the ranch is a Cheetah lawnmower, YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK!"  Boom drove this riding lawnmower all over the ranch while we went to check out the animals.  Cracked me up every time he went flying by.  Every now and then he'd see an area that needing mowing, so he'd cruise over, get those weeds, and then rejoin our group. 

Not sure if all rednecks love seeing three baby calves as much as us, but we think it's pretty stinkin' cool.

Baby Redneck loved watching all of the action...

especially when two of the llamas started playing tag!

Llama meeting of the minds

Real rednecks would have remembered to bring their tackle boxes and fishing poles...we were just content with walking out onto the dock:)

Ok, so maybe my neck's not all THAT red.  I love me a pretty country scene, though.

And my little girly loves her some good horse time. 

The big kids rode horses and then J man was back on the fourwheeler.  He and his Boom Pa went for a spin...

and then he came back and picked up Maddie.  Just give these two mini-rednecks a gravel road and some helmets--that's all they need.

As long as Lulu has her horsey swing, she's content to watch the others.  Unfortunately, allergies got the best of our fam this weekend.  By the time we left the dusty ranch, Jared was in full shut-down mode, Jackson was sneezing, Lila's nose was running like crazy and Cami's eyes and nose were dripping.  We were a mess!  It was time to get these folks back to the big city of Murphy.  But you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll be back to the ranch as soon as we get the chance!
