The Ranch

Stage 5 involved a Ouimette family reunion at the Cottonwood Meadow Ranch outside of Panguich, Utah. We chose this location because it was between California and Wisconsin, was close to Salt Lake City (where my Grandma's memorial service was) and there is not much to do there but relax, eat and be together.
Some of my biggest joys came from watching Josiah enjoy the wide open spaces, catch a fish, "eww and aww" at the 7,000 stars we could see (really 7,000!), make his first smore, feed horses and hike in majestic Bryce canyon. I felt like a child again, seeing the world through Josiah's inquisitive big blue eyes and discovering along with him the beautiful world that God created.
I love my family and cherish these happy days we shared.
