Veteran's Day 2009!

Craig, Ryleigh, Makenna and I headed down to Greenville at 11 am this morning for the Annual Veteran's Day parade. There are so many things I love about living in our small town. Today's parade was just another affirmation of many of those things. I believe the whole town came out for the Parade and Ceremony. The American Legion, the Boy Scouts, Greenville High School's band, the Quincy Elks Lodge, and of course our local Fire Departments were all represented. We sang the National Anthem, said the Pledge of Allegiance, and were able to express our gratitude to the brave men and women who have served and those who currently serve our country. We feel blessed and grateful for their and their families' sacrifices.

We hope you are enjoying this Veteran's Day!

Fall Fun and our Christmas Card Preview!

It has been a very busy Fall here at camp. We hosted several groups, including the AERC National Championship Endurance Ride. There were over 150 riders between the 2 days of the ride. Both the camp and ranch meadow were filled with horse trailers, horses, riders, and their crews! It was a wonderful event, and great exposure for our little town!

Lornie and Sutter have been busy with Greenville High School varsity volleyball. Lornie is coaching and Sutter is a starting setter. The team has had a very successful season and beat arch-rival Quincy last week! Sutter is also knee deep in the college application process. She and Lornie visited University of Oregon a few weeks ago and Sutter loved the campus. So far, the Ducks may be in the lead!

Ryleigh just finished Fall soccer season and is a busy 3rd grader. The rest of the Hoglands are enjoying the quiet of Fall. Craig is madly putting camp to bed now that group season is done, and Becky is starting back with Northstar a few days a week.

Here are a few more shots from our photo shoot this weekend.
Happy Fall!

Kenna loved the apples from the tree!
