We just got back from Canada! Steve was here visiting from Korea with his lil family and we needed to go up and visit. He only comes every 2-3 years...so it is worth the drive. Mitch took his good friend Ben Nelson up with him and they had so much fun playing "ranch style". I am not sure his parents would have approved of all the crazy things they did up there....this pic being one fine example. They were diving off the play hut onto the trampoline which was covered with pillows and blankets. I love how these pictures turned out. Definetly feels like summer!!!
We had a great visit and did some really fun stuff!....We branded some late spring calves...only about 8. My dad was so patient to teach his "city slicker" crew the correct way to do stuff! They were quick learners!!! We even had some rocky mountain oyster eating going on!
okay...so Mitch didn't really eat his...but Ben did! I was impressed. He didn't want to...but he did it! It is kinda of right of passage if you go to the ranch and help brand. It is required! And yes I ate one too....but didn't take a picture cuz it was not my first one! Hehehehe
Ben and Mitch both ear-tagged...and did a good job. I vaccinated, Steve branded, Dad roped and dragged them over, Uncle Ed castrated. What a fun job!!! I think Ben learned alot! And was sore "in certain areas" afterwards! It was a good day!

Ben had a blast at the ranch. There seemed to be a great mix of work and relaxation. Perfect. Thanks for taking a city slicker under your wing and giving him an experience of a lifetime. We are all a bit jealous.
