Jordan here. So, my idea of relaxing is being alone. Solitude. Peace and quiet. That's how I roll. With this in mind, and as we are at T minus one month before the new baby comes, I figured Janel would enjoy some of the same peace and quiet as I do.
As such, I loaded Trey into the Volvo and headed up to my dad's ranch in Antimony, UT for the weekend. My nephew Cameron, who is living in Vegas for the summer, came along too and helped out a ton. This trip was a win-win for all involved. I was getting Trey out of the house so Janel could chill for a minute, and my dad has been dying for Trey to get up to the ranch for the longest time. With the baby on it's way, it was now or never.
We had a great time. Even though it was a bit on the chilly side and pretty windy, the ranch is a beautiful place. Trey had a great time playing with my dad's dog, Sam (who, by the way, is one of the smartest dogs alive. A Red Australian Heeler, she is bred to move cattle, but is great with the kids as well.) He also loved seeing and petting the horses, looking at the cows and listening to all the birds chirp in the trees. His favorite thing of all, however (and much to Janel's worry) were the 4-wheelers. We hopped on those things and took a great ride up Antimony Canyon. Trey and I on one four wheeler, Cameron on another, followed by my dad and Sam bringing up the rear. We drove up to a little creek where Trey played in the water, and then he hopped back on the four wheeler with my dad and Sam for the drive back home.
Trey had a blast, and has been asking to see, "Horsies and doggies" ever since. He and my dad can hardly wait to get together again at Bunker's Buckskin Ranch.

That looks like a little boy's dream come true, 4-wheelers, horses, dogs...and dad!! Hope Janel enjoyed her weekend as much as Trey:)
That looks so fun and Trey looks like he was in heaven!!! He has the biggest smile on his face. What a nice weekend for all- hope you enjoyed it Janel and didn't worry too much. Nathan LOVES the
4-wheelers in CO too. My dad loves taking him for rides.
Looks like you guys had a blast! Cute picture of Trey & Richard on the 4-Wheeler, what a fun Grandpa!
I have so many fond memories of the Buckskin! I still have my jacket. We had some great times up there. Hope you had breakfast at the Merc!
