For those of you who don't know, Mike's family lives in Northern Idaho on 54 acres of beautiful land. It is about 30 minutes north of Coeur d'Alene and about an hour and a half south of the Canadian border. It is just gorgeous up there. His Mom and Dad, Aunt and Uncle and Grandma all live on the Ranch (in separate houses of course). They have 6 horses, multiple 4 wheelers and lots of trails to ride or walk through.
Amy and I were lucky enough to go up to the ranch while Amy was off track. We were there for 2 weeks and had so much fun. Here are some pictures of the things we did. Thank you Gary and Cindy, Vicki and Vanny, and O'ma for taking care of us and making us feel at home.
Amy got a pair of Wrangler jeans, John Deer boots, a belt with changable buckle and a cute cowgirl shirt. She said "I am a real cowgirl now".
Aunt Vicki, Amy and Grandma out for a ride.

Amy just loves her cousin Lexi. She is feeding her some of her yogurt.
Lexi and Amy
O'ma and Amy making a quilt for Amy's dolls. It turned out so cute and they had a great time making it together.
Lexi turned 1 just before she got to the ranch so we had a celebration while we were there. Here she is going for the candle. We all thought she was going for the frosting.

I had her pose for some pictures before she put her riding helmet on.

Cousin Seth loved the cake...now that is concentration.
The barn cat had 5 kittens about a month or so before we got there. Amy named them all and they were pretty tame. She loved playing with them and taking care of them.
Out for another ride on her horse Sunny.
Thank you Sunny...I love you.
Playing in the kiddie pool with Seth
They have a boat so we took it for a ride around Lake Cocolalla which is only about a 10 minute drive from the ranch.
Amy helped Grandpa reload.
Amy just loves gymnastics. Her Uncle Vanny has done gymnastics his whole life, so she spent a lot of time learning tricks with him. She learned to do a hand to hand (handstand on his hands). I was really impressed.
Tada
Goodbye Sunny...until next time.
