From Last Chapter:

We then went out to the barn and found a huge stack of wood stacked near
the barn.  It was the wood for the new barn that would be twice as big as
the current barn.  It would be capable of holding twenty six horses with
room to grow if needed.

The boys went to work taking care of the horses.  They got them all moved
out into the larger corral so they could get the stalls cleaned out.  Steve
and I helped but let the boys do most the work.  They really seamed to love
the hard work that came with caring for the horses.

By lunch the boys were done.  Steve and I had gotten the lunch we packed
out.  Jose had a huge picnic table built and placed under the huge oak tree
outside the barn for us to use.  Just as we were finishing lunch Sean got a
text from Brian saying they were on the way and gave them the directions.

About an hour later Brian and his parents pulled up the lane.  Sean told
them to drive past the main house and down near the barn were we were
relaxing under the shade tree.  Steve and I got up and walked with Sean to
where they had parked.

**********

Chapter 50

Sean went to Brian and shook his hand.  Steve and I walked up behind him
and shook hands with Brian's parents , thanking them for coming out.  We
invited them to walk down to the picnic table.  I noticed the rest of our
boys hadn't left their seats and just watched us walk back toward them.  I
could see the three of them were not as excited to see Brian as Sean was.

When we got to the table, I took the liberty to introduce the boys to Jim
and Helen.  You could feel the tension in the air , and you could tell that
everyone could feel it.  I took it upon myself to get a conversation
started, asking Jim if they had any problem finding the place.  Jim said
that they didn't have any problems and asked about all the construction
going on.

I took the chance to explain to the three of them that we were starting a
ranch for under privileged kids, or kids needing a second chance.
Someplace where they can be themselves without being judged; a place where
they can have a chance to make a life for themselves.
 , I asked, "Would you guys like to take a little tour?"  They agreed, so
we all walked back up to the main house.  Steve and I explained the layout
of the ranch, with the main house for the two of us, and the two "ranch
hand" buildings, which flanked the main house, where the kids would stay.

Steve explained, "The plan is, once the main house and one of the ranch
hand buildings are finished, we would all be moving out here.  We have
three ranch hands that will be moving up from San Antonio once they finish
their classes.  They all attend college down there and work for my boys'
grandfather on a ranch down there.  They will be transferring up here and
helping us out on this ranch."

Jim seemed very interested, saying, "This area really needs this.  I work
with the courts, and I see kids every day that could benefit from a place
like this."

I said, "As a police officer , I see them every day, as well.  We hope this
will be a place where we can teach young men some responsibility, by having
them take care of their own horse, along with helping with the day to day
chores that go along with running a ranch.  A good friend has donated the
use of this land and provided us with the horses.  Sean and Connor's
grandparents are moving in to a house just over the hill.  They have been
working on a ranch for many years in San Antonio , where they have college
students help out on the ranch.  We are really looking forward to getting
things up and running."

As we were talking, we showed them where the mess hall and pool will be
going.  We then worked our way down to the barn , where we joined the boys.
While we were talking with Jim and Helen, Sean had led Brian down to the
barn.  Of course Colby, Aaron and Connor, were all right with them; never
more than an arms length away from Sean.

When we joined the boys, I noticed all our boys were either inside the
corral with the horses, or sitting on the top rail. but Brian was standing
on the outside of the corral.  Once we were all at the corral, Sean asked,
"Can we go for a short ride?  Brian has never ridden a horse before."

I looked over at Steve and could tell that he was a little uncomfortable
with idea, since the boys would be out of our sight.  Everyone was looking
at Steve in silence.  I looked from Steve to Sean and could see the
pleading look he was giving his dad.  After what seemed to be an extra long
time to answer, Steve answered, "I don't see why not, as long as it's ok
with his parents."

Jim looked at Brain and then Helen, before saying, "Sure, I don't see why
not, as long as it is just a short one.  We have to get back into town
soon."

Sean was smiling ear to ear. but when I looked at Colby and Aaron. they
didn't seem to be so excited.  The boys used my saddle and got one of the
more gentle horses readied for Brian before they got their own horses
readied.  Once they were all ready, Colby held the horse while Sean gave
Brain horse riding 101.

Brian looked a little nervous as he was sitting there, waiting for the rest
of the boys to climb onto their horses.  Once the boys were all mounted up,
they started toward the gate where I was standing.  I opened the gate to
let them out, but noticed Brian was still standing in the same spot, with a
confused look on his face.

Sean turned around to see Brian just sitting there,so he turned his horse
around and brought it up alongside Brian's horse.  Brian just looked over
at Sean, saying, "This is the first time I've ever been on a horse, so I
have no clue what I'm doing."

Sean just smiled and said, "Well, just kick her in the sides with the heels
of your feet to get her to go, and pull the reins to whatever side you want
her nose to go.  Give her a kick and she will fall right in behind Colby's
horse.  I will stay behind you, in case you have any problems."

Brian gave his horse a good kick and she started walking toward the gate,
falling in behind Colby.  I just smiled at them as they went through the
gate, closing it behind them.  We four adults watched the four boys take
off down the trail.  We then went back the picnic table to chat, while the
boys went for their ride.

About an hour later . I saw the five boys emerge from the wood line, slowly
working their way back toward the corral.  Aaron and Conner were out front,
riding side by side,while the other three were a bit behind them, with Sean
and Colby on either side of Brian.  Even though I couldn't hear what they
were saying,I could see that all three were talking back and forth.

Once inside the corral, they all watered their horses and got the saddles
taken off.  I walked over to the barn to see how things were going, while
Steve and Brian's parents relaxed under the tree.

When I walked into the barn I saw the boys brushing down their horses.
Sean and Colby were helping Brian, while Conner and Aaron took care of
their horses.  I don't think the boys saw me walk up to the stall they were
in.  As I was standing there watching them, I heard Brian say, "Man, I now
know why you are all wearing really tight jeans.  My balls are killing me.
Next time I come out here, remind me to wear my tight jeans, so my balls
don't bounce all over the saddle like they did in these loose shorts."

All three boys laughed, and kept on chatting.  Brian went on and on about
the good time he had had, and really wants to come out again to do some
more riding.  I got the feeling that they were going to all get along
pretty well. Even Colby had a smile on his face.  I left the boys to their
task and went back to join Steve and Brian's parents.

It wasn't long before the boys came out to join us under the shade tree;
and a short time later, Brian's dad suggested they load up to head back to
town.  We still had a few things that we needed to get done before we
headed back to down.  As we were saying our goodbyes, I noticed that Brian
and Colby actually shook hands with smiles on their faces.  Later on, I
asked Steve if he saw it, which he had.  Both Steve and I agreed that the
meeting went better than we thought it would.

Once we got everything done at the ranch, we headed back to town.  By the
time we all got showers, it was dinner time.  Conner and I made some
hamburger patties to grill.  Since it was Saturday night, Aaron took Colby
and Sean to get a movie from the Red Box for us to watch after dinner.

By the time they got back with the movie, dinner was ready.  The boys
talked back and, about their day.  From what I heard, it sounded like
everyone had a good time, and there were no issues with Brian being there.
They even talked about taking Brian out to the big pond on the other side
of the ranch, the next time he comes out.

It didn't take long for the boys to devour two hamburgers each, and with
the cleanup done, we all went to our usual spots in the living room to
watch our movie.  Steve and I were lounging on the big couch while, Colby
and Sean cuddled on the love seat.  And, of course, Aaron and Connor were
sitting together in the oversized chair.

By the time the movie was over, most of us were yawning, every couple of
minutes.  Steve and I hugged all the boys good night before heading to our
bedroom.  The boys each got ready for bed and said their good nights.
Colby and Sean went to their room, while Aaron went to Connors room and
climbed in bed with him, which has become the norm when he stayed the night
at our place.

There wasn't much more than a little touching here and there in any of the
bedrooms.  Everyone was pretty tired from our long day out at the ranch, so
everyone seemed content with some cuddling before drifting off to sleep.
