thankful#11: camping

by Karmen |

sisters and I grew up 
camping 
in the front yard
in the woods
or on the lake
where ever we could get Daddy-O
to pitch us a tent


Cowboy Dan and his family did much of the same
except their tents
were usually on a trail
 or out in the pasture
where ever the horse trail ended that day

since we married
16 years ago
Cowboy Dan and I’ve been camping
 together 
from the seashore 
to the mountaintop

and we’ve been fortunate
to have seen
what I would consider to be
some of the prettiest places 
this side of eternity

but the place we stayed this weekend

>insert drum roll………..

may be THE MOST BEAUTIFUL YET

Crow Mountain Ranch

add:

the scenery 

perfect weather!

fine horses



sinfully cute kids






food of champions

throw in a good race


with some of the finest 

COWBOYS AND COWGIRLS around


and you’ve got yourself
the PERFECT 
camping trip!

*PS…. see below some of MY FAVORITE EXTENDED SCENES:
which brings to mind a quote from the movie OPEN RANGE

“O Boss sure can cowboy can’t he?”



“Yep they broke the mold after him.”

be still
my heart!
