Our Family took a trip down south a couple weeks ago (I'm kind of a slow blogger). We fist went to
Montrose, CO to visit Brad,
Lezlee, Luke, & Cole
Strong. Jessica got here cavities filled while we were there as well. We stayed in a hotel with a pool and i think that was the highlight of the trip for the kids - they love to swim, but then again what kid doesn't.
After a day or so in Montrose we got back on the road and headed for LaSal, UT to stay at the ranch house. The weather report was not looking good - it was calling for rain turning to snow. Any of you who have the route between Montrose and LaSal can imagine our concerns as we were driving Holly's 2-wheel drive mini van. I bought chains just in case. As it turns out we did not need them as the weather was clear the whole way. Murphy's law I guess, until that night and the next morning - it dumped 5-6 inches of snow in LaSal. If we did not have those chains we would not have made it out of the ranch house. As soon as we got to a lower elevation the roads were fine and we took them off.
We were headed to the Annual Redd Ranches Bull Sale - A Family run event that we love to help out with and enjoy getting a taste of ranch life atmosphere. Below are a few pictures from our trip, as well as link to a video posted to YouTube by my little brother Marc.

Aspen, Just being cute!
The ranch dog really wanted a piece of Jackson's Brownie.
You won't see many pictures of me as I am usually the one with the camera. But now my kids are wanting to take pictures too. I guess their a little curious why Dad always has his camera. It's just as fun to take the pictures as it is to share them with others later on!
Pat is great entertainment for the kids! :) :) :)
The Mighty Meat Cookers and Slicers! Marc, Pat, Brian, (and Arnold in the back)
When Holly first saw this photo she burst into laughter and said it looks like an engagement photo! Pat is single - I just didn't know he was getting serious with anyone, let alone Arnold! :):):)
Here is a link to a YouTube video from the Bull Sale.
