It seems this year we cannot help but be stuck in either the snow or the mud. Now Fischer plays "stuck in the mud again!"
Our dogs enjoyed all of the fried chicken scraps.
Hazen had to take a few bites of fried chicken too. He kept licking his lips after that!
The plastic gloves actually made great "cups" for the milk.
Fischer rode with G'pa on the 4-wheeler after our picnic. He loved it!
We decided to grill outside at our house for dinner yesterday too.
I thought you would enjoy this picture especially Mom. Do you remember when we had to tell Mike and Jim not to beat the fire? We had to tell Fischer several times to stay away from the fire, and to not beat it with a stick.
We found this buffalo horn on our picnic at lunch. Chris and I decided we better put it on our table inside. It is really neat to think that at some point this buffalo crossed our ranch, and either lost his horn or died in the very spot we found his horn. (Do buffalo lose their horns???) A little piece of history...

AWESOME photos!!! thanks for sharing :)
I think we need a video of how you drink milk from a plastic glove! Love, Karen F
What a fun post! I laughed when I first read about the creative drink holders on Sue's blog! I agree with Karen - where's a video? :) I am glad you could enjoy TWO picnics in one day! If anybody deserves that - it's you folks after the winter you had!!
Love the cups!!! You certainly get points for creativity! lol Glad you were all able to enjoy some time outside after the long winter you have had...

So, this may be a dumb question, but how do you know that's a buffalo horn? By the way it looks? I'm just curious! :) I'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything! :)
Jen, sometimes we find them connected to the actual white buffalo skull. There probably is a skull buried somewhere near where they found the horn. The soil is a strange gray-clay-sticky mixture. In different seasons and temperatures things work up to the surface. Buffalo haven't roamed free here for over 100 years, so that is kind of neat to think about. Gary found an arrowhead yesterday when they were riding not so far from the horn finding site.
Gosh ...that is so neat to find that piece of history...are you looking for the skull? Those gloves filled with milk are innovative!!! If you were in a big hurry...you could all drink at the same time!!! Hahahahah ...sure would like to see a family video of THAT!!!Love you all, Gma Terry
I am looking at the pics again, and realize that i didn't respond to your comment about "don't beat the fire"...how well I remember those days...I miss them...hope we can all get together and go camping at Vedauvwoo again...we'll wait untill Hazen is big enough to beat the fire too!! Hah! Love, Gma Terry xoxoxoxo
