Charred Remains with a Dose of Fun


So Saturday we went out to the Ranch for Breakfast Club. Now Breakfast Club is something all the family, well most of the family on the Ranch particitpate in. It is usually held on Friday, but since Kirsten and the kids from over the mountain were here, they held it on Saturday. Now Breakfast Club is a rather elite society and if you find yourself lucky enought to be invited, then you should definately go! It was very interesting to see the path of destruction left by the fire from last week. Starting around 3 miles or so north of the Ranch you could see the charred land begin. It is very interesting to see the different paths that the fire made thru the fields. How does it choose which trees to spare and which to take?
You can see just how close the fire had been to Robin's house...
The Army was dropping big buckets of water on the smoldering trees......That was pretty cool to see! The wildflowers were pretty impressed!
They also got their first horse back ride which was fun for them.....their Dad on the other hand was a nervous wreck!
Cousin Spencer.....who Madison is in love with....
Cousin Madeline.....
