We got on the ATVs and took a little tour of the place. This canyon used to contain a coal mine so some of the miners used to live here. This house was a bit past repair the the stones still looked brand new.
After checking out the sites on the 100 acres of the ranch itself, we headed up a side canyon. There were some more old miner buildings up there to climb on. Matisse tried to hard to get there for the picture. She made it on the next try but her hair looks so lovely flowing behind her that I put this picture in instead.
I thought we were supposed to pose for this picture. No one else did.
Another 15-20 very cold minutes later we came to an overlook that was beautiful. My fingers were so cold that it made taking pictures interesting. My fingers were numb actually so that I couldn't tell how hard or even if I was pushing the button. You can see that Matisse was taking drastic measures to try to stay warm.
My light colored hood blends in teh with sky making my head look tiny!
It was very dusty with us all following each other on ATVs. Patrick looked the funniest. On Daniel the dust had settled subtly in this invisible wrikles and he just looked like he had aged 10 years. It was eerie. I wish I had a picture of that.
I think this might be the only pictuer of just Jared and I from the whole vacation. So even though I look a little funny here it is. I love my brother!
Then we had to get all the way back down and it was very dark and cold. We all survived, though. What an exciting first day!

I hope someday, when I receive the Nobel Peace Prize, you will blow up the photo of me with my beanie, helmet, hoodie layers plus the blue puffy coat with a layer of filthy dust. I hope you will paste it on all the programs and blow it up on huge projectors so everyone can see me at my best. THose photos are awesome and you saved me a lot of time, now I don't have to spend time writing a post about our vacation. YOu are a very great sister. Thanks for sending the camera! Love you!
