Family Reunion 2009






This year's Family Reunion was in Oklahoma at the Rebel Hill Guest Ranch. The Ranch is a 3rd generation working horse ranch with over 100 horses, tons and tons of roaming cows, elk, ranch dogs, ducks, geese and llamas. There was so much to do on the lake with fishing, canoeing and paddle boating. Our cabin, which we shared with Robert and family, was on the other side of the lake so the kids used the paddle boats as transportation back and forth. The cows were everywhere and at night they would come right up to our cabin. The first night we had about 75 cows right outside the door; I was sure they were going to scratch my car. The cabins were really nice and had fully stocked kitchens to prepare all our meals. Riley was the only one less than thrilled with his sleeping arrangement...apparently the bed was scratchy, uncomfortable and had a bug or two. We all shared a good laugh watching him adjust to the bed...to which of course he laughingly replies "just wait until mom lays down!" There were so many good pics they just wouldn't fit in one blog so keep looking there's more.
