Cute Pictures from Ragged Mountain

Beautiful Ragged Mountain

School is out for Rod and we have a busy, fun summer ahead of us. We went to Colorado to Ragged Mountain and it was so gorgeous. It was for the Cowgill reunion. Isn't it so pretty- those are the Rocky Mountains right behind us! The church owns 150 acres and it has 5 lakes and then a main lodge (in picture) with about 5 little cabins around it.

This is all that came out of Rod's Family-there was more counting the extended family. Even though the drive was long, it turned out to be really relaxing and everyone really enjoyed themselves.


We stayed in this cute little cabin. The first night we got there at 3 in the morning and it was freezing cold. So it was like basically sleeping outside and when we woke up it was snowing! It didn't stick but it was still freezing. But then it warmed up and ended up being really nice. Right next to our cabin there was a little pond that the kids loved to go and throw their fishing poles in . I thought this was so cute with Rod and the boys!

I thought this was so funny. There was so many swampy areas when we went fishing all the kids shoes got soaking wet. Rod hung them all up to dry.

There was this coolest truck there- perfect for a great picture.
I had too much fun with this truck!!

The kids all got sick of me asking, "Do you want to go take some pictures?" They all went on strike so I didn't get a couple of other spots I wanted, oh well.

The kids loved riding the canoe.

All David could talk about is when he was going to go fishing. Over and over and over! Finally, Rod took him real fishing and he was so excited when he caught a fish. It was so cute to watch him and the other kids get into the fishing.

David's cousin Carter caught 5 fish. He was so proud! He had to win everyone mostly the girls, he said, "I can't let the girls beat me."

Don was cutting the fish and showing David and Rusty all the eggs and stuff inside. Then he asked Rod if he wanted to have a turn. By the look of his face will tell you how much Rod enjoyed that. It surprised me that he did because he has such a weak stomach. I know that he did it for David and Zach though- to learn how to do it so he can fish with the boys by himself. Another reason why he is such an amazing dad.
