Another beautiful trip to the R-Ranch! I think Christine took this photograph. It was very cloudy on the way. In fact, that night we saw and heard a real thunderstorm. The next morning we learned that it sparked a small fire on the ranch.
Another photograph taken by Christine. She walked up the side of the red rocks at Red Rock Canyon and took a picture of our car.
Looking up from the red rocks.
I rarely get a photo of myself on the blog, so here it is, in our kitchen.
One of the three trail rides. Christine, Madeline and Tom woke up at 5:30 every morning to sign up.
Christine and Madeline befriended Meghan and Taylor. The four of them went on trail rides, swimming, visited each others' cabins, went to the general store for candy and told ghost stories.
These were the rock slides just a few minutes away from the ranch. Liz Watts, a friend of mine who introduced us to the camp, and her exchange student from Austria, Florian, took us there. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of them. A fire hose is attached on the side to climb back up . Wearing water shoes also helped to keep from slipping. I didn't slide down, but I'm told that the rocks are pretty smooth - not too hard on the bum.
These were bowl shaped rocks further above the rock slide. You could slide from one bowl into the other. They were only about chest deep on the girls. The water was COLD. The adults enjoyed dipping their feet or sunning.
