Our son Brian, wife Amy, and their girls drove from Dallas and arrived at the ranch two days before the branding. Papa had made chinks for the girls, so they tried them out soon after their arrival. Amy pitched in and helped with food prep. She chopped for two days! Brian was my "go to guy," helping with everything on my "honey do list." He moved furniture, took out the trash at least 20 times, made many trips to the fridge in the Rock House, shredded beef, chicken, and pork, and so much more. Emily and Sarah raked the driveway, swept the porch, played outside, and hiked with Papa. They were a little timid at the branding, staying mostly outside the corral, but they had a good time.
