Black Butte Ranch

Last weekend, Jake’s whole family headed to Black Butte Ranch.  It is about a 3 hour drive but took a little longer because of all the snow.  It was our first family vacation together and it turned out great!  We all had a wonderful time.

The house was HUGE!  There were two staircases.  Callie Beth LOVED climbing up one, running across and going down the other with her cousins Sam and Will.  She also loved the snow and sledding.  When sledding, she always yelled “wee” going down hills.  By the end she would say “I want to go wee with Dad”.

We all forgot cameras but we also did some swimming.  Of course, our little fish loved the water.  She just kicked and splashed swimming around with her floaties on.  She didn’t want anyone to hold her (unless she started getting tired). 

There was also a lot of relaxing, down time and playing :)  There are lots of pictures so enjoy….

These two are so funny together.  They both have some lessons to learn on sharing.  They both want what each other has but doesn’t want to give up their own toy.  It is quite funny to watch!IMG_4781

Thank you Merrie and Fred for a wonderful trip and to Joe, Kasey, Chad and Jill for great food!  Can’t wait to do it again :)
