We got to go celebrate my favorite Father-In-Law’s (please don’t clue him in that he’s my only FIL!) 80th birthday party a couple weekends ago in Colorado. We stayed at this beautiful ranch called the Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch just outside Loveland Colorado. There’s a sign leading up to the Ranch that says something like “Famous Hospitality” and it’s really true! I felt like we were family guests. It was a great time to be together in this beautiful spot.
Here are some of my favorite photos from our time together –
I love all the big Cottonwood trees all over Colorado and then to put a big ol’s swing on it! Well, the best!
We got to go on a wagon ride around the ranch with these beautiful Clydesdales.
It’s always sweet when the cousins get to be together. I love this one of my daughter comforting her cousin (after his mean mom made him wear sunscreen 🙂 )
Last night campfire. R is doing light painting with a glowing stick!
This shot is a nod toward my cousin Chet who has a similar photo of a horse. Pretty much all my Colorado shots end up trying to copy Chet.
And the whole clan! I set the shot up on a tripod. Wish I could have videoed me running back and forth!
Great time with people I love….life doesn’t get much better. Happy Birthday My Favorite!
Beautiful! G looks like her mother! What loverly photos.
What a wonderful celebration and your photos are awesome ( as always!) Your girls are so grown up now!! Love to all of you!
I love these pictures, Christy! I want to have some cards made up of the wagon wheel picture, and I would love one of R in the swing and the horse head. You’re the best! Thank you for taking the family pictures for us, also, and running back and forth from the tripod to get in the picture. BTW, that is how I got Reid to stop crying – I told him that Sugar would be running, so watch her run. He thought that was funny.
Much love,
Your Favorite MIL
