Trei Fishin'.

Desiree's catch of the day, seaweed!Soooo, while at the lake fishing we had rather an eventful experience aside from catching fish...My Nephew had been joking with me from the second we got there that there are snakes in the toilet and yada yada, Bruce had told him not to joke cause there are alot of rattlesnakes on the Ranch, anyhooo after being their awhile I finally "had to go" so I go into the outhouse & hear a rattling sound, my1st reaction is "maybe its a sprinkler going off", well yea nope I thot to myself, I doubt there are sprinklers down by the lake in all the brush so my 2nd thot is, its a rattlesnake cause I have heard one before...so I look behind this white box that was in there & sure enough its in the corner all coiled up...You may think I ran out of their screamin' but I actually stopped and thot "its behind the box I probably have time to go & get outta there b-4 it comes out" but I opted to NOT go and left the "facility" & told the others who at 1st thot I was joking. So Owen & his Dad got their riffles outta the car and shot it...all that to say it wasn't your every day trip to the bathroom!

Owen after having shot the rattler... Bruce takin care of business...

Owen & I infront of the "Owen Madsen Facilities" where I found the rattler...

Horse back Riding

We were able to take the kids horseback riding for an hour which they loved, neither wanted to get down! After they had their turn us Older guys went on an hour ride around the Ranch, it was sooo beautiful and fun to ride, I did better this time then last time....I think I bore the guys last time they took us as I was wayyy behind, but this time my horse did more of a trot and I kept up with the pack, whoo hooo!!! Feli you would have been proud!

We Celebrated Casey's 11th Birthday while at the Ranch, instead of cake he chose Pizza & Ice Cream, wise choice!!! Mike started out with a Nsync/Backstreet boy rendition of "Happy Birthday"& Dad took over with a sorta rap version from I don't know where, but it made for good laughs! He got some great gifts, a Tony Romo Jersey, Chuck Norris posters which were hillarious, & a Funny MT T-shirt!!!! Good times!

Gifts!
