Labor Day Pig Roast

Marc and I first met in college at a pig roast... very similar to the one we had this Labor Day at the Lucky Ladner Ranch. Everyone had a fun time and the pig was very tasty!

First Day of School

Garret-6th grade, Katie-3rd grade, Conner-Sophomore

Yellowstone 2010

We began our trip by staying the night at my dad's house in Royal City.


We spent the night in Idaho at Heyburn State Park.

We stayed with our friend Chris in Montana. Here are all the guys target shooting with BB guns.

The girls took a trip to Garnett Ghost town.

I am pretty sure that the kids liked staying with Chris more than some of the other stops we made.

On our way out we had to have a picture with the "cow"... some landmarks you just can't miss!

On our drive to Yellowstone we stopped at the Lewis and Clark caves.
