Quads, Goldmines, Bank Robbers and kids at work!

This little guy was in HEAVEN when Uncle Ty brought out his quad for the kids to take turns riding! Ethan dreams of having his own quad someday when they live in their forever house. Tyler scored major points with Ethan this trip!

 And Claire loved it too - and did very well all by herself.

 Ethan and Sam waiting their turn to ride the quad. These two little guys were born the same day - within 2 hours of each other. Sam is older, but Ethan is definitely taller! They sure are cute.

Goldfield Mine

BJ, Sam Brodi, Holly, Jeff, Claire, Ethan and Bryan and I went to Goldfield Mine one afternoon. The Boyers went on a tour of the old gold mine while BJ, his kids and Papa went on a train ride. I kicked back and waited for all of them. While we were there, the volunteers performed a gun show for us. It was really fun to watch. Here are some pictures of us at the gold mine.

 It was crazy because the cowboy kept telling Ethan to point the gun at him for the picture. However, Ethan had just had a lesson on guns when we went shooting and Uncle Tyler told him to never point a gun at anybody, so Ethan was very reluctant. This was as close as he would get to pointing the gun at him. Good for Ethan for listening!

Claire got a mineral kit for Christmas where she had to dig for rocks in a sand block. She and Jeff spent hours digging her rocks out and she loved it! Notice the safety glasses? Good job, Claire!

 While they were doing that, Ethan was hard at work in the back yard putting nails in some boards that Papa found for him. Good work, Ethan!
