4th of July at the RANCH

We had a lovely 4th of July with the Wagstaff Family at the Wagstaff ranch in Wyoming. My cousin Jennifer came with us which was a fun treat! Also, Tal's Uncle Blaine, Aunt Lori and their three sons Tucker, Weston and Truman who are really fun company were visiting so we had a blast! We left at 5:30 am on Sunday and after checking in at the Ranch, headed up to Jackson Hole for church, a beautiful picnic overlooking the Tetons, and a fireworks show. On Monday we went 4-Wheeling, shot clay pigeons (I only threw the pigeons a few times, but Jennifer earned a reputation as a sharp-shooter hitting 2 out of 4 with a Remington 870 12-gauge shotgun, better than most of the boys! She said she hadn't ever been shooting before, but I suspect that she's an active member of the NRA. Just look at her wielding that thing like a pro!). We also climbed through the hay barn to see a family of owls that live in there. Funny how they didn't seem interested in delivering any mail to Hogwarts for us. Also, on the way up, a GIANT moose tried to run us off the road. Thanks to some quick thinking and evasive maneuvers by Tal, we were perfectly safe, but wow! It was exciting! (the moose pics aren't of "the moose" but we saw those two on the way home) It was fun to celebrate Independence Day in the wild west!
