Vacation

We have returned from our vacation this year... some might argue that everyday day is a vacation here on the Lough Ranch, but it's not! (school will start very soon) We traveled to Estes Park, Colorado for the Craig Family Reunion.



In Omaha, we stopped at the zoo for a break. This polar bear was swimming in circles, the same path, the same strokes, over and over... zoo life must be rough! The girls liked the zoo, but enjoyed the sky ride the best.


This is our "cabin in the mountain" we (Lindsay, Adam, Blake, Leslie, and 4 girls) stayed in during the trip. It was located in Allenspark about 30 minutes form Estes, and how we found it at 11:00 at night, I will never know! Thanks Mable... the Magellan GPS thing.

There was a COLD little stream behind our cabin... Bri fell in!



We enjoyed the Craig Family Reunion... visiting with lots of people, playing on the swing set, a round of miniature golf, and trying to figure out how many family reunions Blake has attended??





We also traveled UP into the Rocky Mountain National Park. Absolutely amazing views... and to think it has been like that forever... so beautiful and clean and chilly... and a little hard to breath. We hiked up a little rocky place and found some snow and made a few snowballs.
Overall, we had a great time, but boy were we glad to get home to our own beds, and be finished with the 16 hour car ride!

Thanks for making our reunion so much more FUN! We sure enjoy having our immediate family with us. Give the extended family a chance to enjoy too. Best meal on our trip was coming to your cabin for grilled steaks and fresh garden food - Love MOM
