Cactus Dreams!!!!

In the front yard after a long day!

It was a hot, dusty Wyoming day. That destinctive sunscreen smell hung all around us like fog settles into a valley. The temperature had hit 93 degrees and the water jug was such a welcome sight. Despite the heat and lack of vegetation it was like a good dream.

The road was bumpy and you could hear little giggles coming from the front of the four wheeler. It was Jason laughing at his efforts to change it into reverse on the fly (obviously a bad idea, but it still got laughs.)

If you are wondering what I am talking about, yesterday Jason and I had a front row seat to see what Colin does out in the field every day. When he came home for lunch he invited us to go out with him and stake holes. We packed up enough supplies and headed out. As we drove north the scenery quickly changed from a river bottom with trees to old sand dunes covered in prickly vegetation. The cactus was thick and so were the burs. This didn't slow us down though.

We had a day of visiting and trying new things. Jason learned that you don't just run through a cactus patch and decided that riding on shoulders was his transportation of choice......when we are foot anyway. He also had the chance to ride on his first four wheeler (His overall favorite way of getting around). It was a new adventure him.

By the time the day came to an end the three Moodys were sapped by the heat and so ready for bed. I apologize for not bringing the camera....I missed some really good photo ops. So, for now I will let you go using one of Jason's many new phrases............."I be seeing you!!!"(picture a big Beverly Hillbilly wave too.)
