Joe just happens to plan things so that the second bunch is done down in the prettiest spot on the place. When the last calf is worked, and the team is unharnessed, we can just walk over and start relaxing.
The horses are unsaddled and are happily eating green grass.
The Prairie Oysters are cleaned (they aren't Rocky Mountain Oysters when you are this far from the mountains...) The fire is stoked and the lard is ready.
Ris starts getting food ready as Gypsy waits for her to drop something.
Jayda shows Ris how to properly cook a brat.
Yum! Note the lineshack in the background. The mice were camping in that, so we all decided to camp outside. 
Everyone was ready to eat, drink and be merry. (And tell windy stories) Note Barbara, the Camper in the background. She made her maiden voyage plus a trip to Nebraska last week. More on that. Plus the reveal, which we keep putting off. Not intentionally, of course.
As dusk fell, the stories got windier: horses became legendary, dogs performed supernatural feats of rescue, and Ole and Lena became the butt of jokes.
Big John sits here soaking in the stories as Margo trys to determine whether they are factual or not.
Zach was the chief nut-fryer. Matt tries out the biscuits Joe made in the dutch oven. Survey says: They were next to heaven!
Jayda and I check out the digs. Very nice and campy!

Very fun. I wanted to see the tents so thanks for sharing. Now I am anxious to see Barbara!! LOL have good week.
Very very fun times had by all! I think that Joe was asking himself that he is getting a little old to be climbing trees, although all of us on the ground had a good laugh!
