Vacation

In the middle of June we took our first official family vacation. We went to the South Shore of Lake Tahoe for our friends Ben and Jill's wedding. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Becchetti. We then went directly from Lake Tahoe to Trinity/Shasta County for a one week stay at a Dude Ranch.

Coffee Creek Dude Ranch was a fantastic time. We will be the first to admit we gave my sister Kim a bad time for choosing this as our family reunion vacation site - but she knew what we didn't: that we would have a great time! We rode horses, ate down-home cooking, did barrel racing and enjoyed a good time outdoors for the week. Very fun.
This is a picture of Wyatt and Travis. No doubt this boy is a mini-version of his Dada.
One of our favorite things to do at the Ranch was sit outside on the grass with the babies. They were very fond of their cousins. They like to watch "little people". Max, Ben and Korina are so good with them. It was so fun to see them all play together and interact.
Here is Miss May with her cousin's cowboy hat. Too cute. The babies won't wear hats however. They just take whatever hat you put on them - off. They don't wear hats. They don't wear socks - they pull them off. They won't wear shoes - they pull them off too.
Here is the whole family!

This is me on a Belgium draft horse. This was a very big horse - he was 18 or 19 hands. Super smooth gait - really fun to ride. I rode him for the pole racing and the barrel racing. Travis and I at the Ranch after a day of trail riding. Where are the babies?!
