Carter visits Papa at the Farm

The Carter-man stands on a straw bale waiting for Papa. The straw field under a cloud-filled sky - notice the toe rock on the left edge of the photo.
Another great shot of clouds and the Sleeping Ute Mountain.

Carter and Papa are delighted with the tractor driving experience.
Watch as Carter drives the tractor... and waves from atop the bale.

Reunion Afternoon Activities

We spent a great afternoon at the Pond.

Karly takes a moment to gather her courage before swinging on the rope.Tate and Jason lurk below the rope swing.
Uncle Vaughn reacts to Betty shaking and flinging water on his tender back.
The floating alligator is a wonderful island anchored in the middle of the pond. Notice the splash which indicates where Jason went in after loosing his grip.
The paddle boat is a roaring success.
Trent and Becky took their family to the Four Corners Monument for photos, fry bread, and jewelry.
