The Ranch

We took a day trip to "The Ranch" today with my family (my brother is a part owner of this place near Cool - at least for the next few weeks since some guy from England bought the place).
Here's a distant picture of the home from the lake (which is part of the property - it's a huge lot (1300 acres?)).
View of the lake: It's not a huge lake, but it's big enough to ride jet skis on.The family room/entry to the house - huge windows w/ an amazing view.
The entry & part of the kitchen:

My dad & Brad were the first to go for a ride:Steven waiting for his turn on the motorcycleRiding up to the house on the MuleWe had to make it home from the Ranch on time for a dinner party with some friends. I made egg rolls (Scott did the frying), & we also had stir fry, rice, & a yummy brownie/cookie dessert.After the party: Will's playing with all of his favorite toys.He also learned a new trick that night: lifting his legs up really high in the air - he'll be reaching for his feet & sucking on his toes soon enough.

  3. The 'lot' is 1300+ acres! Yes, it was probably the prettiest and most peaceful place I've ever been - even with motorcycle crazies all around me. That's just the cutest baby ever!
