Steeds at the Ranch

We reserved the ranch house for a few days for a Steed family reunion. The ranch is a halfway point between Jamie's sister, Shayla in Seattle and us in Austin and the other Steeds in Las Vegas were good enough to make the trip up for us. We've spent lots of time with the Steeds in the past and I've been to the Ranch many times but I've never combined the two before. Verdict- Awesome combo!

Spent a day in Park City to try out the alpine slides.

Threw the kids around on the rope swing.

Shayla and Brent brought a slip n' slide that proved to be a fun addition with some experimental runs.

Played some volleyball and water balloon battleship (a game of Jamie's creating). Cameron brought his pal Indie. The kids enjoyed ninja moves and warrior games with some great sticks they found. There was a great new swingset by the pond. And the big boys made up a new game they call Keifer Ball or Keif Ball- like Keifer Sutherland (and I'm sure I spelled it wrong). I enjoy the Austin area but it's great to escape in the summer and enjoy this weather and outdoor playtime

Tubing and wading in the ditch. Brian was a good sport, paddling upstream with Andrew on his back.

Don't tell the kids but after they went to bed we had a great time playing games and munching. Laughed so hard playing Telestrations with these guys. But the kids did a couple fun rounds during the day themselves and enjoyed some puzzles and games Grandma brought.

Enjoyed a perfect day up in the Uinta mountains. Beautiful!

Thanks Steeders for coming where we wanted you when we wanted you, that's pretty special of you! Love these guys!
