Christmas 2011 Part Four, Ranching

The big excitement of the final day of our Christmas visit to Ennis was: RANCHING! At about noon (after a morning of: are we going ranching?, is it time to go ranching?, can we go ranching now?, is it time now?) we all piled in the truck and drove a couple miles to Jack's to get hay for Grandpa's horses.



That's me on the right in the red toque.
Resting after all that hard work. Notice there was no car seat required on this trip either!
Now that we were back in the pasture, the boys had to get the bale out of the back of the truck. After several attempts at gunning it in reverse then slamming on the brakes, which resulted in a lot of sliding backwards, Aaron hopped in the back to add some muscle.
One good shove...
And off it went.

Howling like a wolf/"doing the big eye". The big eye is a particular expression that Rick taught Aaaron when he was ittle that has been passed on to Matthew. Matthew added the sound effects.
