Our Dude Ranch Family Vacation

Hannah showing her batting skills on the pinata.



Harper and Hannah dancing with the Mariachi band. They serenaded us during our evening meal.




The view during one of our nightly hayrides. The driver threw out corn so the deer were waiting on us to pass by so they could start eating.




Hannah horseback riding, one of our rides included a cowboy breakfast where we rode horses to and from a "cowboy breakfast".




Photo shoot after Mema and Papa bought everyone shirts in the gift shop.



One evening we had dude ranch "Olympics". Even the grownups got in on the action. Daddy was the winner of "washers", he beat out Uncle Kelly.



Hays waiting for his turn during the Olympics.



Hadlee having fun at the Olympics.



That night we had dinner by the river and a fireworks show.




Family picture before the fireworks show.



Photo time...Hannah on a huge steer...



Hadlee's turn...Harper and Hays wanted nothing to with it, don't blame them...



Our afternoons were filled with a couple hours of swimming.




Hadlee striking her pose before she jumped in.



On the last night the adults got to have a meal inside while the kids dined outside at the pavilion. We were then treated to special show. Aunt Cy and Hannah during the show on the last night.




Harper and Hays dancing in the show. The kids practiced with the older kids for two afternoons so they could be in the show. They loved it!




Harper striking her pose at the end. Yes, she is wet because they had a water balloon toss while they were outside.



Hadlee performed on the other side of the stage during their dance. One of the mothers came up to me after the show and said Hadlee put on an excellent performance....all of those nightly dances at home are showing.



Posing after the show with their friend they made, they got the poster for helping out in the show.


We had a blast!!!


Thanks, Mema and Papa!

Those are great pictures! Your kids clearly had a great time going around the ranch with the animals and performing in front of people! They were determined to be part of the show, and they did it through hard work and persistence! That’s something to be proud of. That poster should be put in their closet! :)
