The Taylor-Kinney clan never has a dull moment. They have a new place to live and some new friends to explore life with. Follow their adventures, the ups and downs, the dangers and the pleasures, and see their love grow the land and each other.

It was time to leave Hawkin's Island. Terry and Brian had business opportunities in Colorado and Griff and Justin agreed it would be a good move for their careers as well. They all agreed that it would be a good move for their children as well. There was a better school system there and more opportunities for them to explore more of what the world had to offer.  

The children adapted quickly from island life to the Spirit Pass Ranch. They enjoyed the nature around them and the wide open space. Being able to have horses and a variety of mini animals just enriched everyone's lives. 

Shortly after arriving, Justin was selected to create a major commission for the Colorado Natural History Museum. Along with Griff, and later a new friend, they create a masterpiece. 

This family always works hard but loves harder.

Brian seizes an opportunity to make good use of the extra hour provided by the turn to standard time.    

Gus’ lips rolled inward, a carbon copy of Brian’s signature contemplative look. “I just like…” he sighed again, more heavily this time. “I just wish I could forget about this for, like, an hour or something.” 

Brian made a small noise of realization that made Justin look toward him, and as soon as he registered the intention on his husband’s face, he moved closer to Brian and hissed, “No. Brian, you can’t.” 

Brian gave Justin his most charming smile and said, “Oh, but I can!”

A heartbroken Gus spends a weekend in New York with Brian and Justin. In an effort to help his son, Brian turns to a tried-and-true method.

A series of vignettes based on prompts given to me by my betas (and others if they so choose) for our Wednesday Hump Day challenge. Each Wednesday we have decided to challenge each other with a set of prompts to make the week flow faster.

Nine year old Gus has joined the Boy Scouts and wants Dad to join him on a Father/Son camping trip to the Allegheny National Forest. He is congratulating himself on his good luck when Justin agrees to substitute for him, until bad news comes near the end of their trip.
