Billed as Ranch Camp 2022, this summer we had the fortune of having the oldest 6 of our 12 grandkids stay on the mountain. Days were filled with horseback riding, target shooting, lake or waterslide afternoons, numerous games and fireside s’mores in the evening.

Each morning after breakfast started with horse riding. The kids went in pairs and worked with their special horse for about an hour and a half. They progressed quickly and were soon trotting around the arena

These kids get so attached to their horses, it is hard for them to quit when grandpa say ok it’s time for the next pairs turn.

The hot afternoons we spent on Hungry Horse reservoir or at the big sky waterslide. Bluebird sunny hot days had everyone ready for swimming.

A stop at the Huckleberry Hut for ice cream is always a hit.

The days passed quickly and soon it was time for them to return home.Skylee and Decker flew out first after a 10 day stay. Mady had couple more days and then she boarded a plane for home. Then Steve, Leah and Gavin drove out for a short visit and picked up Bella, Sophia and Jalen.

These are such special times that we have with these kids. Everyone is hoping for a repeat in 2023!
