Ranch Day!

Oh! How we love to our Yager family Ranch Days!

Nothing scheduled. Nothing planned. Just enjoying God’s creation and dear friends:

Forging the stream (or just playing in the stream) is always a particularly fun part of ranch day:

City life just doesn’t allow for bug catching (and smiles!) and dirty feet like this:

This visit was a particularly special one for us because one of the Yager sons was home—Andrew is an officer in the Marines on active duty overseas, so of course we pray for him regularly. And he is such a fine and admirable young man (and so patient with his mother’s friend who takes too many photos of him in his consummate cowboy role!):

Thanks to a high-carriage, AWD vehicle, we were able to go off-road deep into the ranch for the first time. I call this photo, “You can’t do THIS in a Honda Civic!” 🙂 :

A storm was rolling in, so we got to pick up Hanke the cowdog and give her a ride back to the house. (Even though she can easily and readily make a 2,000 pound bull submit to her, she is apparently not a fan of thunder.)

Ahhhhh … Ranch Day. One of the best parts of living in Montana! Thank You, God, and thank you, Yagers.
