We had a great time at the Heap reunion. Everyone was there and we spent almost the whole week camping at Greens Peak. It was so much fun to see everyone. Harvey loved camping and especially the fire. He is a little pyro. I had a great time playing with the kids and playing games with all the cousins. We have a tradition to run down greens peak every year. This year a few of us decided that we would hike up greens peak and then run down. Well we did make it to the top and ran down despite our shaky knees and upset stomachs from eating a big breakfast. Thanks for all the fun.

Taking a break
We have had an eventful, fun summer. Ranch work and the house have kept us busy along with family reunions, the 24th and other family events. It has been raining a lot and both ranches are so beautiful and green. This place is hard to beat when it is green! It has been so much fun to have our kids enjoy the lifestyle that Jay and I both had growing up. It is a kid paradise especially if you are a kid like Harvey who loves insects ,snakes, horny toads, frogs, trianchalas and what ever other thing he can come across. You can imagine what it is like keeping those out of my house. How we love little boys!
