We’ve been having internet troubles here at the Ranch, but we’re up in running now! The good news is we’ve been having a great time working, learning and getting to know each other! Here are some highlights from our trip.

First day of breakfast is a great time to get to know everyone…especially with hot cocoa to keep you warm.

After breakfast, everyone is loving the view from the patio.

Arrival on Friday went smoothly, and everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Unfortunately the Ranch is without internet access, though, and has been for the last week. They’ve been unable to upload the blog, and it may be some time before photos are up.
We’re unsure of when the internet will be connected again, but if you have any questions feel free to call Marissa Perry @ 626 204 2554.

Here are photos from our last full day at the Ranch!

Today the students got off the Ranch and saw some more of Colorado!

Here are some photos from the last couple days at the Ranch.

Clearing the last bit of remaining snow.

Work projects in the kitchen – making lip balm and biscuits.

Doing some large group activities.

And some horseback riding on a sunny Colorado day!

Even though it was snowing, Sunday was a great day for a hike!

Saturday was another great day at the Ranch! Students were able to sleep in a little and have a late breakfast.  The day will filled some fun activities and pizza making! Yum!

The pizza was delicious!

Friday was another busy day at the Ranch! There were work projects – our students participated in Ranch Beautification, made muffins in the Kitchen, and washed dishes!

These girls had the cleanest room so they won the Golden Dustpan!

Some students also got to horseback riding and others worked with the small animals.

In the afternoon, we did some hiking!

Students woke up early to help feed the horses.

Later in the day, the students had a chance to do some more around the farm.

It’s always fun at the Ranch, but especially when it is snowing!

Today was our first full day on the Ranch! It’s little chilly, but everyone is all smiles! Check out the view!

For most of the day, we broke into small groups and rotated through different activities.  Here is one group working on some academics.

Another group worked with River, the horse.

We took a short break to play some games.

It was a fun day on the Ranch; we are really looking forward to the rest of our time here!
