Every year around our anniversary Ryan and I go on a camping trip. This year we brought along our new white water raft! That's right we're boat owners now! We camped on a island in the middle of Long Draw Reservoir. It was amazing... like car camping without the car and the crowds! The dogs had the time of their lives swimming, chewing sticks, & chasing birds. Ryan fished (of course) and I napped in the sun and read by the camp fire.
Last week we went up to Copper Mountain to celebrate Ryan's 28th birthday. Jolly, Cherie, and Samuel came up and spent the night with us on Tuesday.. and then on Wednesday night Ryan's cousin Brett and his wife Brandi stopped through. We had such a wonderful time riding fresh powder and enjoying our family. 
Just before Thanksgiving Ryan's cousin, Brett and his wife Brandi came up to visit. We spend a couple days in the mountains and went skiing at Copper Mountain. It was great catching up with them. And... we just found out that they're expecting their first baby in June!! 
Last weekend, Ryan's good friend Stephen came up to visit from St. Louis. The ranch was "joke central" for 3 days. I honestly think that they speak their own language. Here are some pictures from their trip up the canyon to Longdraw Reservior. The final fish count... Stephen - 4, Ryan -3. It was "the best day ever."
