Dude Ranch

When mom and dad found out about my upcoming arrival... or as Dad has put it "the runaway train" they decided to make some big changes. The first is that dad decided to quit his job and travel around with mom (and me). He wanted to see all the cool places mom gets to go take photos at. But really he has told me the real reason was so that he could make sure mom didn't do anything crazy like climb up slippery cliffs or jump over fences to get a good shot. Swimming with sharks? That was okay. Everytime she did climb a cliff or jump over a fence he would be right behind us keeping me safe. The first trip we went on as a family was to a Dude Ranch in Wyoming called "The Hideout". On the first day Dad got thrown from his horse - yes MY dad!! Dad was NO WAY, NO HOW going to let mom get up on a horse after that so he had to gallop after cows with mom's camera and it was pretty wild to watch! We also went in a helicopter but mom almost barfed in her camera bag so that was the end of that fun.
