Painting the BIG red barn

Saturday we were able to help Brandon's
great uncle Darris paint his barn.
We woke up at 6:00 am. Way early for me!
We made the drive to Wyoming.
The barn is huge. We had our work cut out for
us. It was good to meet Brandon's extended family
and help him out at the same time. It was a good fun
experience for our family.
The Barn before the new paint job.


The kids checking out the chickens.

Sierra could not get enough of watching
the horses. From a safe distance of course!


The girls had a fun time around the farm getting
all dirty.

Some of the men working hard.

Lisa and Katie painting the trim.

Sierra painting and making a mess!


Lunch and a few words from Darris and Fern.

Everyone enjoying the break from painting
and every ones company.

I'm not sure why but Sierra had a fascination
with this wood carved bear.
Probably because she new it was fake and
it was her size.

Bob and Ryan back to work.

Paige did more paint rolling then painting.
She always had so much paint on her roller.


Riley had more paint on her clothes then the barn.
I was amazed that the girls liked painting all day.
They never got sick of it.


Sierra found something to ride in the barn.


There was a rope swing in the barn that has been
there since Brandon was a kid. The kids loved it!
It took Riley a while to get brave enough to swing
from the loft. She finally did it and loved it!

The finished product. It looks so good!
Nice job everyone!
