Castle Valley Outdoors DUDE Ranch

We went to a cool dude ranch in Utah for 3 days. There was us, my Dad & Stepmom, Connie, my Aunt and her family. Our days were jammed packed. We had a blast!

We went ATV riding all over.







We went fishing and caught a lot of blue gill & 2 rainbow trout! We also caught craw fish and let Elizabeth keep one as a pet...she named him "Lucky" (fitting, since we cooked all the others to eat)









We went hiking to some old rock art site.










It was kind of steep and narrow for Boston. Poor Brian had to carry him most of the way.

















We caught pheasants with a net. That was a lot of fun to watch!





























We saw horses and ponies. We even went horseback riding. Elizabeth loved it....We are thinking about putting her in horseback lessons.






















At the end of the day we sat by the fire and roasted yummy marshmallows.












We met new friends and shared cold glasses of Castle Valley rootbeer YUMMY!




We also went to a rodeo which happened to be at Castle Dale, Utah. That was really fun, especially when they milked the cows.
Check out their blog on my friends and family list.....it would be a great family vacation!
