Great Grandpa Browning's














We went to New Mexico to visit my grandpa. He is 80 now and still out hikes the rest of us. He built seats on his golf cart (with seat belts) for the grandkids. Then took them 4 wheeling in it. He doesn't golf but bought that special for the kids. He showed us all the trails he has cleared and the fire wood that he chopped and rocks he moves to make roads. He also showed us the extra room he built on his house with wood panneling he cut for the cellings. He is an amazing man and works harder at 80 than anyone I know. He taught the boys how to play 42 (dominoes from when he was a kid) and washers (like horse shoes). The boys played and hiked for hours. Grandpa even let the boys go out when the deer came down to take pictures. Thanks Grandpa for the many things you have done for me.--Rachel

Spring Break















I took the older boys to Castles N Coasters for spring break and we road rides until we were sick then the boys kept on. Thomas has a cast iron stomach and rode everything several times. Josh.. not a fan of the boat that swings you back and forth but still rode the free fall and log ride enough to get our moneys worth on those two rides alone. Me...I'm the coolest mom ever now, even though the free fall makes me scream.
