Ron and I went for a ride...stopping at antique shops along the way...we ended up here...at the Rockin R Ranch in Antimony, Utah...about 45 minutes from our home.
This is a big working ranch...they raise lots of hay and horses here.It is also a dude ranch where kids can come and spend some weeks
out of the summer learning ranching and the cowboy way of life.
This is Princess...she runs the place...inspects all the guests...and keeps everyone in line.
The lodge is decorated with big rock fireplaces and elk and everything that is Cowboy and Indians.
A tall tree go's right up the middle of it's floors of rooms.
It's filled with light and comfy furniture.
They take everyone for old fashioned hayrides on the big hay wagon.. Such a beautiful team of horses.
This is the lodge and there are other buildings here too.As we stopped in for dinner there was a big family that had
rented the whole place for the weekend. My husband knows
the people who own this so we had a free dinner with them.
This is the name of this place and this is the entrance gate.
One of the gift/antique shops we stopped at....
I had a chat with the owner and he gave me some real good deals too!
...S ' MORE BROWNIES....1 box of Brownie Mix
6 graham crackers

6 (1.5 oz.) milk chocolate bars,
coarsely chopped.
Preheat oven at 350*

Make sure the marshmallows aren't
getting to dark. When a toothpick inserted

from the oven...allow to cool before cutting

Note:
Instead of graham crackers. you could use
Teddy Grahams...Honey

Mix it up a bit with whatever you'd like!
My daughter made this chart showing the 9 months of her pregnancy.
I thought it was really cool...and yes, we are still waiting for little Sophia
to be born! It has got to happen this week or the doctor will most likely
start her. She's had it and says she just can't stretch anymore...I think
we can all relate to that!
Say a prayer for her will you my friends?
Say a prayer for her will you my friends?
Thank you...sending out all my love to each of you...have a good week!
If you don't hear from me...You'll know where I am :D

I accidentally found the Rockin R Ranch about a month ago when I was looking at family reunion sites in Utah. It looks fab and now I like it even better because it is close to where you live!
I think it would be so romantic to be able to saddle up the horses with your hubby and go riding off visiting antique stores, stopping for dinner. It is dreamlike to us city folks - ha ha!
That ticker of your daughter is super neat - Good luck to her!

The ranch looks awesome! And the brownies look delicious! YUm! Your daughter is a cutie! I feel for her... those last couple of weeks of pregnancy can be so uncomfortable. But soon there will be a sweet baby and it will all be worth it! :-)
Looks like a fun place to visit. I must try those smores brownies. My two favorites together has to be a good thing. Hope your daughter's delivery goes well.
Wow what an amazing place and such a fun adventure for kids!!!! I'm dying to know if you were raised as a "farm girl" or if you have adapted since you live on a farm now. (Working or not, it does seem like a farm.)
What a darling way to chart a pregnancy - too fun!!! :)
I love that your daughter documented her belly each month. What a great keepsake that is going to be! Best thoughts for her and Sophia!
