Yummy Huckleberry Heaven and Brown Cow ice cream...
A glimpse at *almost* my dream car (think it comes in a hybrid?)...
Aidan and Nadia stayed overnight with Grammie and Papa while we had a great time celebrating this guy's birthday(who is married to this wonderfully hospitable girl)...
Back at the farm there was a lot to do, like gather eggs...
look for kittens, give carrots to Lane's bunny, play with the dogs and of course feed Cori...
We also played with some VIP's, cousin Cooper and cousin MacKenzie (notice Aunt Debi in the background riding Mel)...
Mel was a popular guy. All told he gave rides to seven Maxwell family members!
Even me!
For this brief moment I put aside all of the worldly wisdom I have gathered over the years that cemented the notion you are not to get on the back of an animal that big that has a mind of it's own. Wisdom I gathered from the time I had my ankle smashed by the neighbors horse, and the time I was bitten in the face by Martha's Butterfly, and too the time she kicked me so hard in my mommy-parts that I flew across the road and landed in the ditch, and yes the time I was terrified by the charge of a horse named Two-Too to the ultimate end of a seriously nasty rope burn on my brothers legs, and the time Austin-the-rope horse decided to take off across the pasture with me screaming and hanging on for dear life until he then decided to come to a screeching, sliding, butt-on-the ground stop just mere inches from the fence.
For this brief picturesque moment I put all of that aside because my brother said, "get on, we'll send the picture to Face, it'll be funny".
And look, there were no tears and not even one cuss word!
You can hardly tell I am terrified! The best part was that both my dad and my brother told me they were proud of me.

Why does Brad look like that in every single picture he takes? Seriously.
So glad Aidan and Nadia had such a great time and even happier that you and Tony got to spend Saturday night with us. It was a great night. Thanks for coming!
I am so glad you all had fun at Grandmy and Papa's! Mel, I am very proud and impressed, you look like a natural!
Love,
Face
Okay, I just almost peed my pants reading about your experiences with horses. I now have a whole new appreciation for your mommy parts.
cory!! nadia still has her? that is crazy :) looks like you all had so much fun..
and your horse experiences.. my god.. lol.. im sorry.. but i literally was loling.. while getting funny looks from my mom andbrother haha
Why are you riding a two headed horse? They don't buck, do they? When are you getting your very own horses? I see now why you chose your homestead to be where it is today. It is so close to the arena you can hear it...
