the Random Slideshow

I wanted to try out this new program for creating slideshows on my blog so here's some random photos from various adventures I've had. It's a free and easy to use flash slideshow program called slideroll.

A day with Celeb

Finally we were able to make it up to Raspberry Ranch so River could spend some time with Celeb. She was great for River and enjoyed being out and about and free to munch grass since she’s been on a pretty strict diet lately. We explored the ranch for two hours on a beautiful spring day and River was surprisingly comfortable riding for that long. He even tried trotting her a few times and loved it.A bald eagle flew right over the top of us as we wandered down this road and River nearly fell backwards staring up at the sky to watch it. The ranch is right at the base of West Mountain in the Boise National Forest and as River gets more riding experience under his belt we will be able to ride up the mountain to explore Hidden Lake or Snowbank Peak.It's something about the size of horses and their unique personalities that attract me to them so much and they are definitely fascinating animals for kids. Perhaps one day we'll be the proud owners of some fat and lazy quarter horses we can occasionally jump on for an adventure. This was great prep for a potential family horse-pack trip into the Wind Rivers. What do you say Mike?

June is in Tune

June Mishea McEvoy Woodruff has joined us in this world as of June 9th. The third of the McEvoy-Woodruff Clan, little June joins older sister Zeia and older brother Jasper in their efforts to take over the world. Weighing in at a hefty 8 lbs 4 oz, I'm sure she'll be a force to be reckoned with!Good luck with those wacky parents June! You can always visit Tio in Idaho for extended periods. No really, congratulations to the McEvoy Woodruff Clan!
