Ally's birthday "party" was a bit unique this year. Instead of an actual party, she asked if she could bring a couple of her best friends to Tumtacker Ranch. Our property is about 4 hours away in West Hill country and a work in progress. Bought only 6 months ago, we haven't been able to spend as much time as we would like there; but we told her that if her friends' parents said yes, then we would make it happen....and they did! We were also lucky enough to have our former 'across the street neighbors' but moreover, great friends, agree to meet us there - bringing the Frodges back together.
...And a final bonus - the Garner crew joined us the last night as well.
Jim has spent the last couple weeks getting it a little more "ready" for outsiders, building an enormous deck, fixing the heat and AC in the bunkhouse, buying an outdoor water heater/shower system, and more. I spent the week prepping with food, gear, and games.
The next couple days will showcase even more from this wonderful weekend -
but this was the 'before' picture of the girls ready to campout 'outside of suburbia and off the grid' (both quotes from the weekend).
