Vacation with the boys!

JJ wanted to go with Mike and I to Hawaii this year.  We would have taken him, but didn't think he was ready to be gone two weeks and ride on an airplane for 8 hours.  Maybe we will take him in two years.  We did promise him a vacation.

We took JJ and Dominic to Tatanka Ranch for a mini vacation.  The boys had a blast.  It was hot, but we managed to have a good time.  The ranch has 10 cabins.  We stayed in cabin #5. The boys swam and swam and swam in the pool.  Mike took them on a canoe ride on the lake.  They rode horses, and went in a wagon to feed the animals, goats, deer, donkey and some long horn cows from a distance.  There was also a playground that had a little western town built inside it.  The huge swings reminded me of the swings on our playground at school when I was little.  You can get them to go so high.  They are big enough for adults to enjoy too.  We also drove over to  Stroud to eat at the Rock Cafe.  There is a cafe on "Cars" that looks like this cafe.  The food was good.  Next time I do hope to take the kids when it is cooler.. Late July is so hot.

We stayed two nights and three days.  I think the boys loved being together and we just love all the time we get to spend with our grands.
