We got up early and hit the road. Dirt roads, that is. 

CousinExtraordinaire is an amazing photographer (and hostess). She has an ATV (and access to another) and the five of us had an excursion today to see the wild horses and other wildlife in the area. 

We left the house and 7 AM and got back at 10. Then we showered, ate, and headed home. In between, we saw:

• three bands of wild horses, including the beautiful filly, Pearl
• 1 family of nesting Swainson hawks 
• a RC airplane taking off
• a satellite dish, in the middle of nowhere, on the ground 
• some amazing scenery 

and we (Drama Princess and I) gave a grasshopper a ride. He flitted into the side-by-side I drove, landed on her arm, jumped to the door, then abandoned us. 

We had a wonderful week and can’t wait to do it again. We saw glorious scenery, ate delicious food, swam, and laughed. 

We’re home now. Queen Bee will go home tomorrow. 

Next up: two weeks of VBS Adventures with Grampy and Drama Princess.
