Making the Most Out Of a Colorado Summer Dayl!!!!

Started the day with a beautiful nature walk!

                                           Here is Tomas sporting the California vibe in Colorado!

      Sandra falls in love with the flowers from the meadow.

There is one of Carlos's famous smiles :)

                                           Getting ready to work it out on another project!

                                         Teamwork was common on this work project.

No obstacle was too big  to handle!

Your children have learned so much about themselves and about others out here on the ranch.  Being a teacher at Options for Youth I have learned that our future leaders will take on challenges with open hearts and open minds.  Everyone here at the ranch is so proud of these children and they will be missed.  Sorry about the delay with blog updates but with the weather and all the fun we have been having it has been hard to pull myself away from them. 

Good times
