Pryors

Yesterday, the we filled our day with lots of horse riding and moving cows. We spent the first part of the day helping Christian's grandpa move his cows to their summer pasture up in the Pryor mountains. It was beautiful up there! The grass was green and tall!

Peyton (Christian's cousin visiting from Utah), Travis, Carson and Landon hanging out while everything got ready to head out.

Carson, Peyton, and Christian were on 4-wheelers, Grandpa Monk on a side by side, Daniel and Jared on horses, Charlie (Christian's cousin) on foot and I followed behind all of them in the truck.

Heading out.

It was so beautiful!

The cows approaching the last gate.

The flowers were vibrant and abundant!

 After the cows were where they were supposed to be, the three older boys wanted to know if they could ride around on the 4-wheelers. They rode them back and forth I don't know how many times, but loved the chance they got to actually drive them on their own!

The 3 Amigos: Carson, Travis and Peyton

Having a bite of lunch.

Grandpa Monk took Christian and I on a little ride to run through the cows and make sure they were looking good. It was fun to hear him talk about the area and hear stories from past adventures up there. You can just tell that this is one of Grandpa Monk's favorite places to be!

One the boys' favorite thing to do on the way to Pryor and back was try to point out all the Prairie Dogs they could. Those suckers are everywhere and the boys were all wishing they had brought guns!

We got back to Lovell around 3 and found out the Christian's dad needed some cows moved, so we ended up heading out there to help him. All the boys rode horses. It ended up turning into a long day, but the boys enjoyed their time on the horses and getting to hang out with Peyton!

Carson and Jared riding along, The mustard (the yellow flowered plant) was so high. Some of it came up to my waist while I was leading Landon on Tonto!
