Sand dunes

 On the way home from the elk ranch we stopped by the sand dunes for a little fun.  Callie loves playing in her sand box at home, so these big mountains of sand were just heaven.  She loved digging a hole for daddy to sit in and she loved running and jumping down the side of the hills.  She did get a little dirty though.

In the velvet

 Grandpa Turnbow knows a guy in the Rexburg area that has an elk farm.  While we were there this past summer, we got to go and see them while they were in the velvet (the horns are still growing and they look and feel like velvet).  Each elk was so careful not to touch another because their horns are so sensitive at this time.  It was pretty amazing to see how big some of these animals were.   

Horse back riding

 We started off by Callie riding with Grandpa, but then she quickly got on her own horse.  I think we have a little cowgirl on our hands.

Then onto Grandma's nails

 After painting Grandpa's nail, Callie had to do Grandma's nails.  She loves painting nails and mommy only lets her do clear on hers, so having purple was so much fun for Callie.  Now all the paint isn't on the nails, but she is getting better.

 The finished product. 

Fruit loop necklace

 Callie got her first candy necklace on the trip over to grandmas and she loved it.  So I bought some fruit loops to see if she would like it as much.  She got about 5 on the string and was done.  Maybe another day.

Last minute family picture

 Stopping and trying to get a family photo.

 I think these photos would have turned out really good if we had a bit more time and were prepared to take pictures.

First Time fishing

 Callie loved fishing.  I couldn't believe how brave she was touching the fish.

Stopping to take a rest from the busy exciting day.  Sure do love this little girl!
