I'm going to have to say my favorite ranch past-time is EASTER!!! There is nothing better than an easter egg hunt in a stack of hay bales (sp?). I loved finding the special $5 egg with my name on it. Hmmm...I could sure use a few of those eggs right about now. Mom, Dad- Let's keep THAT tradition alive! :) haha!
When I think of the ranch I think of the old ranch with the little run down cabin. I think it was the same one that mom and dad stayed in on their honeymoon (dad what were you thinking?!?! haha) I remember tang was the drink of choice on the ranch. Whenever I see tang in the store I still think of the ranch.
When I think of the ranch, I think of the little old cabin too, but I'll bet I have a different memory than all of you and it isn't all that pleasant. Yes, Kelly....WHAT WERE YOU THINKING????? I also think of Grace getting ticked off at Ruth for putting up a border in the new cabin and wrecking her picture display. LOL Mostly though, I think of what the ranch has meant to the entire Esplin family. Your dad got spend his entire summer with his great grandpa, grandpa, dad, brothers, uncles, and cousins. What a little boys playground! Because of that, the example of each of them has stuck. Even though cows can be an ornery lot, dad never head Darlo say a swear word. All of you should be grateful that family ties were put in double knots on those acres of sagebrush. If it wasn't for David Esplin, you G.G. Grandfather and his homesteading of all the BLM land and his foresight to get rid of wild horses and dig water wells, it would have been a very different life for all of us. They went without a lot of things to give us what we have today.
