The Cookman's come for a visit!

We were so blessed to have our good friends, Dale, Betsy and Cael come and see us in August! They were moving from CA back to MN and decided to come by way of the Durkee Ranch. We were so excited to see them and to finally meet their son, Cael. He and Hope hit it off and had a great time together...they are now great buddies! Cael got to experience some "firsts" at our place, too...horseback riding, jumping in a bounce house and riding on a tractor. We had a wonderful visit with them and look forward to many more visits!

Dale, Oden the dog and Nolan...Nolan LOVED Oden! He would follow that poor dog all over the yard! Oden never got his usual naps with Nolan around...

Hope and Cael playing Super Heroes...very funny!
