BBQ at the ranch

So this last weekend we spent up at the ranch in MT. It was the annual fall party for friends, neighbors, etc. We went up on Friday night and had supper at the supper club--which was the busiest I have ever seen it. Lots of hunters. Anyway, Saturday was perfect--weather wise. Could not have asked for a nicer day. So Paige was up early and we had to go check out the cows. The calves are in the feedyard; so her and Grampa Keith and Daddy had to hang on the fence and check them all out.



Following the cattle inspecting; Paige had to help G'pa Greg block the vents on the house. She learned how to hang on to the screws and hand them to him. Its a valuable skill and will lead to driving lifts around someday. We all have to start somewhere. Soon she'll think she can drive the Bobcat. She got bored so she and G'ma Shelly drove around on the four wheeler and got tired--thanks for that Mom.



Later in the evening after supper, Paige decided she better drive the Club Car with her cousins. She was easily entertained and thanks to the Clarke girls for keeping her that way. She loves to play with the girls and plays very hard.




I had to get a picture of our host, Grampa Keith. He's on the right and co-cook Tim is the other gentleman. They cooked us up a great supper of ribs, potatos, etc. I learned that baked potatos with black bean cheese dip is fabulous and I am stealing some the next time I go up there.



We had a good weekend and despite the major lack of sleep had fun. I met some new entertaining people and didn't have to do the dishes!
