We took our annual trip to Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico, the last week of July with Granddaughter Kyra, age 11 - her 6th trip to the ranch (see the 2005 picture included below to see how she's grown!). The trip started with a Saturday drive to Albuquerque and a visit the following day with grandson Kaelan (age 6). Kyra and Kaelan are half-siblings and met for the first time. We enjoyed an afternoon of swimming, playing games and chasing a roadrunner! On Monday (July 26), we headed for Ghost Ranch. Sharon participated in a week-long Gospel Music workshop, Dwight did a week of R&R, and Kyra joined in with other junior high youth for lots of fun activities.
Sunday afternoon in Albuquerque: C'mon Kyra and Kaelan, let's get outside and go for a walk!
Look! There's a roadrunner! Let's chase it (this could have gone on forever if Grandma hadn't eventually declared an end to it!)
"Stalking" the roadrunner was great fun. Here, Kyra and Kaelan watch carefully to see where he's hiding.
Granddad, Kyra and Kaelan pose for a picture at the end of our afternoon together. Both Kyra and Kaelan decided it was a fun time together and hope to do it again sometime.
Ghost Ranch, the most beautiful place on earth. The weather was partly cloudy all week with occasional showers, but that didn't stop us from having a wonderful time.
You can see Abiquiu Lake in the distance here. Kyra's group spent one morning there learning to kayak and they had also planned an overnight campout in the same area, but rain and lightening moved the event to a building (where they had a "camp-in"!)
Of course, we have to pose for a picture with the grandparents every year. Notice that Kyra is now as tall as Sharon!
But she's not as tall as Dwight ... yet!
Kyra at the ranch in 2005 - just had to show you how she's grown since that first visit to Ghost Ranch!
Kyra and Ema became great friends during our most recent week at the ranch - as you can see, our granddaughter is becoming a young woman (isn't she beautiful?) and we are very proud of her.
