Saturdays ~ Michael

We were woke up at 8am by the telephone ringing...Fred's Dad needed some help with a water pump so off we went over to the Ranch. We spent most of the day over there and I took the camera of course and enjoyed myself.

My son is addicted to frozen cokes....here he is slurping away...

Michael playing with grandpa's dogs.


Grandpaaka hooked up the riding mower to the wagon and talked Michael into going for a ride in the wagon...Michael wasn't real sure about it at first but then he started smiling and thought it was pretty neat...actually he wanted to ride the mower instead.



Michael posing for me...
Walking the path...

The guys were working on the water pump and Michael was playing boss man and I was told to either take him for a ride on the mule (4X4) or take him for a walk...Of course I chose the walk so I could stop along the way and take photos....We were 3/4's of the way to the back of the ranch when Michael had had enough of me and my photo taking so he turned around and headed back...I kept making him wait here and there along the path and he was getting a bit irritated with me, lol...by the time we got back to the guys they pretty much had the pump fixed...so it worked and I got some great photos!! Enjoy them and thank you for stopping in to look!
