Happy Fourth of July!

We spent a wonderful weekend in Casper, Wyoming with Papa Rich and Grandma Judy. It took a while for us to get out of town with a 10 car accident on I-25 where we sat for 1 1/2 hours, but when we finally got there, it was well worth it.

We spent the weekend with much relaxation and rest. It is so beautiful and peaceful there. Rich and Judy live in a beautiful house tucked into the countryside with scenery as far as you can see, antelope roaming all around you.

Brian and I had such a wonderful time, but I don't think it can compare to the time that Brady had. He was busy from the time he woke until the time he went to bed. He learned to shoot a 22 shotgun and practice target shooting of their deck. Papa Rich taught him how to drive a tractor and helped to do some chores around their property. Then Papa got out his Quad 4-wheeler and that was pretty much the last I saw of him.

On the 4th, we went and had dinner at this great place where we had something called the "Grease Bucket", which included a variety of delicious fried items, including fried pickles, which are one of my favorite things. We also went to a Casper Ghosts game, that's the minor league baseball team for Wyoming, and had a great time. We won't say what the score was, but it was fun with a fireworks show at the end.

On Sunday, we were getting ready to head home and Brady decided that he wasn't really ready to come home and asked Papa Rich and Grandma Judy to stay a little longer and luckily Grandma didn't have to work again until Wednesday, so he is there until then. Last I checked in with him, he was still quite busy going to see Ice Age 3 at the movies, going swimming at the aquatic center and who knows what else.

Thank you Papa Rich and Grandma Judy, we had a great weekend!
