Visiting with Nana and Grandpa and trip to Oregon

Nana and Grandpa were here for a week of adventures at Hartland.  The first adventure was them arriving to camp during some snow showers on Memorial Weekend.  It snowed for about an hour but didn't accumalate, poor Zane wanted to go sledding.

We did a good hike with Grandpa on the Bodee Falls trail.  We didn't make it to the falls but it was a beautiful trail with lots of mud for Zane to splash around in.

                                               We found a Yeti in the woods.

                                      Casey found a birds nest right next to the trail

                                     Logs that didn't always keep him out of the mud

                                            

One evening we headed up to the Eshom OHV park to check out some of the trails.  One got a little muddy but Dad knew he could make it through.  Not quite, so Casey had to pull him out.

Zane and Nana spent some time "painting" which turned into Zane doing some great hand prints.

                                       There was some painting in the beginning....

                                                      One hand in

                                                       And two hands

                                          Adding all the colors and having a great time

We did a day drive up into the National Forsest to check out some of the back roads.  We even got to push through a snow drift.

                                                       Snow!!

                                                    Found a big log

At the end of their visit, I got a phone call from Canyonview camp in Oregon.  They needed a CHA clinician last minute, due to a cancellation and wanted to know if I could be there in three days!!  Thankfully our amazing community here at Hartland jumped in to help take care of Zane while I was gone and I found myself on a plane to OR.  It was a great clinic and it was good to be involved with horses, my horse time has been a little sparse the past few years due to moving.  But I have kept up all my certifications and look forward to doing more clinics in the future.  I also got to spend a day with Auntie Dee and Uncle Paul in Portland at the end of the clinic.

While I was gone, the summer staff arrived at Hartland and we are ready to jump into our first summer here at Hartland.
