After spending a couple of days with the kids at Tanque Verde Ranch in early January, it is a favorite place to stay. Claire, Emerson and Colby are spending four days with us at the Ranch. Emerson and Colby will participate in the young wrangler’s program, riding horses each morning, having a cowboy breakfast in the hills, lunch with the group, and swimming in the afternoons. Papa, Claire and I will hike, read, and relax. After arriving yesterday, we went to the pool, then to the Cowboy Cookout in the Cottonwood Grove in the evening. We enjoyed every minute!
