Round up weekend

This weekend was the yearly round up in Ellensburg at my parents friends place. We like to go for the food and good company. The weather turned out to be great and my daughter ate cow tongue for the first time and loved it!! eww, I didn't even want to touch it. gross. Well, In no particular order...because it has become a huge pain in the butt to try to arrange my photos ever since the explorer 8 download!! here are some pics from the event and more....Here is josie with grandpa riding Sunny...she really liked horseback riding! Luke now officially lives in Ephrata, just north of moses lake during the week. He has a couple roommates and is saving money by living there while he works in moses lake. He got to move out of our travel trailer and we moved that up to the lake for the summer..we took josie to a park in ephrata on friday...she loved the swing!!

ok, back to the round up pics...here we are!

Grandpa and josie before the cow branding action...

This is the best 'family photo' we could get. I don't bother trying to get josie to smile at the camera...as long as she is looking in that general direction...I say 'take the picture!!'

I think josie actually had her eyes shut in this photo....but it looked alright from a distance:)

Hanging out with grandma, watching the action from behind the fence!
