Day 4: Muffy's Ranch

For Labor Day we drove about an hour and a half into the mountains to Muffy's Ranch where my Aunt Brenda works during the summers. She takes care of the ranch their and when Muffy and her family aren't there (they live in New York) our family gets to enjoy it! It was a cold rainy day but we still managed to have some fun!

A beautiful setting in the Crazy Mountains.


This is the barn. Above the barn there is a two bedroom apartment for the caretakers where any of us who come up to help open and close the ranch have stayed. When I lived in Montana after my first year of college I cam e up here with my aunties and cousins and we stayed for the weekend and worked and had a blast. There's a small pond and a large pond, a hot tub which is set right into the field overlooking the mountains, trails, teepees and so many beautiful things to take pictures of!


Mike and Andrew took a hike up Target Rock, which is right behind Muffy's. The last time Andrew went up there he hiked by himself and was trailed by a pack of wolves!













Brady fished with Grandpa and Uncle Mike but her didn'c catch anything. He had so much fun though and fed the ducks too!

This is the dinner bell! We always eat out on the front porch! What a perfect place to sit back and enjoy and wonderful meal!!

On the front porch there are two of these awesome swings! We love to sit here and talk and play!

Brady and Grammie did some target shooting with the 22. I even took a shot and hit the target! Not too bad for only my second time ever shooting a gun!

Olivia kept herself busy by exploring. She found these little chairs just perfect for her!

Can you tell that made her happy???

When she wasn't exploring she was with Aunty Donna!!

Or being a rascal!!! She kept stealing food and biting into it and she followed this barn cat all around saying "meow, meow"..."Kitty, kitty"

Megan and Brady swinging in the woods overlooking the big pond! If it had been nice out we could have gone swimming and boating. They have one of those big water trampolines, a zip-line, canoes, kayaks and pontoon boats!
I walked around and took a few pictures, of course!
