no lions no tigers, but BEARS, OH MY!

We had a great time in Ruidoso, NM a few weeks back when we headed over to take part in a Bostian (My MIL's side) family reunion! We rented a big house in the woods and enjoyed lots of family time! The kids made GOOD use of the hot tub, and even watched a Big BEAR cross the backyard while swimming one night! WOWZERS! There were tons of deer around our house, the kids and adults loved all the wildlife. We celebrated a few Kane birthdays, hit the horse track (Patrick Ryan was the big winner), went for a family walk, had a few dinner parties, had a movie night, and finished the weekend with a big family picnic and fish fry! Delicious! 
best-est buddies!
