Lost Valley Ranch

We were so lucky to have the opportunity to travel this past week to a very special place for the best vacation ever. We went to LOST VALLEY RANCH in Colorado with my entire family. My mother gave this trip to my sister and I for Christmas and little did I know then that we would have such an amazing trip.

On our way to the airport to meet up with my sister and her family in Boulder.


We were also so excited to be able to celebrate Harper's Birthday with her friends. She was beyond excited! I don't have anymore pictures because I needed to take Emma to Urgent Care in Boulder due to a fever, back pain and throwing up. I didn't want to head into no man's land without having her check out. In the end she was fine and were off to Lost Valley Ranch.


This vacation is any child's dream come true. They are able to ride horses all day long, make new friends, have wonderful child supervisors and wranglers, eat great food and be surrounded by beauty. It is also a dream come true for the adults for all of the same reasons.

Getting ready for our morning ride after a "cowboy" breakfast! ooooo aaaaw!


She is growing up so fast!


My mini-cowboy!







Emma and Henry with their child superviser - Megan. She is such a wonderful gal. They love her to pieces.


Old fashioned egg toss!


Could anyone be any happier? Look at those smiles.


One confident rider....


Second confident rider.....


Emma and Henry's new friends- Alicia and Miranda from Ohio.


My cowboy- looking great on his horse.

Miss Harper



Our brand they we left on the ceiling of the lodge....its so cool that every family does this and if you return you get to put a check mark next to it.....we hope to have a few check marks over time.



What a vacation!

Thanks Mom!

Time Together

Out time together with Celia and her family was so much fun and so special. I never take for granted one moment that we all get to spend together. The time is so precious!!!


Henry reading to Graham. (one of my favorite books)


The kids at their local recreation center complete with an amazing indoor pool. I am not sure why Massachusetts has none of these centers. They are missing the boat!!



Celia and I were making dinner and Graham was so hungary that he couldn't wait. Celia and I decided to just let it go and he ate off of the floor for quite some time very happily.


Mark makes the perfect cup of coffee!! !

Sisters

Sisters- what a special relationship. It has been a year and 1/2 since Celia moved to Boulder. It feels like an eternity for me. I miss her and her family more than they will ever know.

Celia and I have never been apart except for the last year and 1/2. It seems unfair that it is at this point in our lives where we have so much to share with one another. Emma and Henry miss their cousins and absolutely love spending time with them. There is nothing like seeing your children and your siblings children playing and laughing together. There is a bond there that can't be replicated with friends.

We miss you guys!!!

This walk to downtown Boulder started off well but by the end Graham(or Wiggy as we all like to call him) was kicking Harper. Little Stinker!!



These pictures with the pig I take every year...it is amazing to see how much the children have grown and changed over one year.







Celia and I









Hiking with Daddy and Mark. Celia and I headed back with Harper and Graham. It was a gorgeous day!!
