Zions Ponderosa Ranch

We were able to get 1/2 price on the cabins at the ponderosa ranch in Zions.    It was pre season and snowed on us 2 out of the 4 days.   The other days it rained.  :)   Thus the 1/2 off sale I suppose.
Here are some pictures.    Now imagine if you will that it is all green and lush.   That there is no mud and that we are all in shorts and t-shirts.   THIS is what it would be like if you went during the season.     GORGEOUS !
They have ziplines, horseback riding, ATV's (adults and kids) rockwall climbing both indoor and outdoor,  jeep excursions, trampoline jump, swimming pool, game room (pool tables, ping pong etc), kids camp,  playground, petting zoo (bunnies and goats), and themed campfires.
They rent cabins, houses, covered wagons, cowboy cabins.   You can take your trailer or tent it.   This place accomodates everyone.  Except there is no cell service (barely) and no WiFi.   
It's a rustic wonder.....and I think everyone should go.


The bunkbeds were queen over queen and there was a queen pullout sofa also


Such cute boys

getting ready to zipline

now if you ask.  how could you ever put a 2 year old down a zipline.   Look at this face and tell me how you say no :)


again.   look at how much fun this kid was having.   He loved the zipline.



I loved this picture

The coral sand dunes.   AMAZING right ?

Ryan peeing.    e.v.e.r.eee.where but the toilet

You can't imagine the mud this kid got into.   We finally just said...go for it.

He was in heaven


Oh yes we did.   We got in the hot tub the last night.   I think it was 62 degrees outside.

J offered anyone 5.00 to go jump in the pool.  which was also 62 degrees cold.   She owes 15.00 to the girls :)
