at the ranch

We just returned from vacation to the JH Ranch. We love going there as a family when there are no campers in site and no schedule to be kept. We read books, played games, hiked in the mountains and had fun in the snow. It rained or snowed for much of the time we were there . . . it was beautiful and the house was warm and cozy. I could have stayed another week. Here are some highlights:

The girls had a blast in the snow! Seth wouldn't even dare put on a pair of snowpants or boots. He had no intention of setting foot in the white stuff . . . so strange as he's had fun in it before!

There is a pond behind the house we stay in that is a perfect backdrop for pictures.

Hiking in the mountains is always a highlight.

We always visit the full-time groundskeeper. He raises goats and three of the goats had babies while we were there. They are SO cute!

Now it's back to reality! I will have some scrapbook shares this week . . . stay tuned.

p.s. I finally changed my blog header . . . it had only been a year! : )
