Where Seldom is Heard a Discouraging Word

Here are a hundred pictures of fun times at the ranch.  Oh how I love this place.

 Rope Swing.

 Adventure Club.

 Showing off all the bones they found on one of their adventures.

 A baby bird fell out of it's nest.  It's mother was killed flying into the window at the ranch house.  The kids rescued it.

 Dress-ups.

 Lydia.

 She loved loved loved the sand.  Can you tell?

 So did all the kids.

 Petting "Blacky" the horse.

 Watching the deer in the backyard.

 There was even a spotted baby.  So cute.

 Hiking up to the pine trees.

 We made it!

 Tour de World bike race blocked traffic on the way to church.  My parents were speaking so they walked the rest of the way.

 Swimming at the rec center.

 Watch Eliza go down the slide.  She's quite the little fish.

 Hot tub.

 Oh, look at that messy face.  So happy to be at the ranch.
