Silver Creek Plunge

This is Silver Creek on your way up to Silver Creek Plunge, Idaho.
Beautiful drive.

Here is our campsite at Silver Creek Plunge. We were right next to the road. It was about the only place available when we arrived late friday night. We scouted for better camp spot the next day but no such luck. It is a beautiful drive up there however, we will not return to this area to camp again. There were way too many people and dirt bikes going up and down the road all day long and there weren't many places to go in order to get away from all the campers . The hot spring was a nice set up but again too many people and not that warm. It was not to our expectations. We heard coyotes at night and saw some Elk foot prints around our campsite. If you want to ride on your dirt bike all day long this is the place to be but if your looking for peace and quite we don't recommend camping here.

New Arrival !

Please welcome the arrival of Dos. June 12th between 5:00-6:30pm he finally arrived!!
We were expecting him to arrive on his due date June 10th but nope ...not quite yet he wasn't ready. Darin kept a close eye on Momma making sure she was ok and to see how close she is getting but with all the chores going on too we missed this exciting time of his arrival. His momma did all the work and we are very proud of her. Darin found him at this spot in our pasture all cleaned up and walking! We are sorry we missed it all. It was a very different experience from when we had Uno.

He is a soft little fella!! We are very happy with his markings.

Up close his has very long and beautiful eyelashes.

Rough Day!!!

Here is our first bull calf, Uno, that was born in March. He is 3 months old now and has no idea as to what is just about to happen to him.

Uno is patiently waiting as Darin and Brady set up the calf table.

Locked down!

OMG!! What the Heck???
He didn't know he was going to be turned to his side.

Momma hanging around her baby as she didn't like him being helpless. He didn't know what was going on and probably that was a good thing.

Firewood

This picture is the second of three loads from ONE tree. Its all home now and a total of four cords of wood!! What a nice relaxing weekend we had :^)

First Cutting

This is our first cutting from our west side pasture of 12 acres. We were able to get 295 bails of hay.

Zack and his brother Ben helped us stack our bails into the barn. It was a very hot (98*) day. Did these two "city slickers" know what they were getting themselves into and will they do it again?? We think not!! They did worked hard and did a great job. We appriciated the help very much.

Thank you.
