Memorial Day at the Ranch 2014

For the Memorial Day weekend, Craig's Dad felt like he could do a night at the Ranch and see it for the first time since the new house was built and since the construction had started a year before.  His health began getting worse around the time construction began.  

Our car was a little packed on the drive down due to bringing down some new items for the Ranch.

Love the kids' excitement when we pull into the dirt road and we let them unbuckle
The beautiful view

It was wonderful seeing his reaction and we had some tears of joy that this day finally arrived for us all to be out there at the same time.
Love his face 





Along with this weekend, there was a TON of rain.  The kids were going crazy, so we let them play out in it the mud.  It was a mess but they had a blast, until they had to take a cold bath because the hot water wasn't working at that moment.

Mooooooooo!

Kristin took MeDad back home after a rough night.
Mimi and Papa came for an evening to see the new house for the first time too.

It rained, and it rained, and it rained some more! It was a weird tornado color.  It rained so much that we had a difficult time getting out of the low water crossing but it still was a great trip.
As always, we love the Ranch, love our trips there, and it is worth the long drive to spend 1.5 days there.
