Adams wants to be a cowboy and is just enthralled with anyone with a cowboy hat! He also loves seeing all the horses here in California! We visited a small cowboy museum that had a room full of hands-on items for the kids to be able to dress up as cowboys and then sit on a saddle. Adams thought he was in cowboy heaven!
We also spent part of one day on Uncle John's ranch near the Don Pedro dam. Uncle John and his partner Dale brought their horses and a four-wheeler with a trailer for all of us to be able to ride the ranch with them. Steve drove the four-wheeler and Uncle John gave the kids rides on his horse. Adams loved getting a ride on the horse and didn't want to get off. The back woods of California is just beautiful...the rolling hills, shale rock, shrub bushes, and the Black Angus cattle peering at us behind the trees. The poor cattle didn't seem to know what to do with the noisy group of people that just invaded their quiet territory. Uncle John and Dale explained to us that they check on the cattle and the fences weekly looking for broken places in the fence and for new calves this time of year.
What a special treat to ride along with Cowboy Uncle John for a day...at least that's what Adams would call him!
