A Week with the Dalton Boys

Last week we were LUCKY enough to have all the Dalton Boys at our house. 
Daniel's Dad & 2 little brothers came to escape the Island Park snow and visit.
It was one of the funnest weeks of all time.
They arrived Sunday night late- and were up early Monday morning to help Daniel move steers.
Monday Night we celebrated Grandpa Matt's Birthday!
Cinch was excited to help make the cake 
And Grandpa couldn't be the only one to blow out candles.

The rest of the week is a blur of sorts. We vaccinate just shy of 1200 head of yearling heifers one day- moved both of our herds around, cleaned out barns
and of course roped every night.

Cinch LOVED to show the boys he could go FAST on his horse and would constantly ask to go 'more fast'

And if he wasn't going fast- he wanted to ride the yearlings the boys had roped.
And after that was all done- Cinch would have them play football or basketball or both each night.
They were long days filled with much fun and little nap times- but
in Cinch's word
"Ky, Bubba, Grandpa stay at Cinch's house"

It was sad to say good bye Saturday morning- but it was a great week for sure.
But it's only 60 days til branding month comes so hopefully they'll be back soon.
