The weather was really nice after Christmas while Ryan and Sarah and their families were with us. The kids played outside a lot. We told them they could go wherever they wanted, so long as they could still see the house (only because the snakes were not out yet.) We could see them walking all over the desert around the house. They even made a "clubhouse" in Mom's old wash room, gathering treasures to put in it from all over the place.
There weren't too many lizards out, but they spotted this one and tried to catch it, with no luck!
Sarah's kids even tried their luck at flying kites the first day they got here. They did a good job!
Cameron was a big hit with the kids. He brought his four-wheeler and took them on lots of rides. We really enjoyed having him here and hope he makes it back to
Wikieup sometime.
Here is
Chaz, Ryan, Lori, and Terry relaxing in the swing.
One day we went to
Dazzo's (one of the local businesses) and had ice cream. Here is Sarah and Lori sitting with some of the kids.
Ryan's three kids, Wesley,
Chaz, and Ryley.
Sarah and Ryan brought their schnauzer dog and one day I found
Lindee in the "dog house."
One day we went to Burro Creek
campgound. It is kind of traditional that we visit here and go through the cactus garden and go down by the water.
Of course, one of the favorite things to do by the water is to throw rocks in it. Ryan is showing off for all of the kids!
Burrow Creek was nice and calm. Sometimes at this time of year it is flooding. We found a really nice sandy beach area and played for a while.
Then the "older boys" got into a rock skipping/throwing contest. I am not sure who won.
Before everyone left, they did a "project." This is also kind of traditional, to do a project at "Nettie's Place" each time we come. They dug up the water line across the driveway and buried it deeper so when the vehicles crossed over it, it didn't make it leak. They also went and filled up some wash-outs in the road cominging to the place. Good job, kids!
Two Christmas's ago, we took family
pictures of Travis and Shay and their families on the picnic table, with the cactus in the background. So, now we have a family picture of Ryan's family--clockwise starting at the top,
Chaz, Wesley, Lori, Ryley, and Ryan.
And Sarah's family--from the left,
JT, Ryan,
Lindee, Jenna, Sarah, and Luke.
