Wilstem Guest Ranch: Paoli, Indiana (08.25.2006 - 08.27.2006)

After Fairmount, it was another four hours to the ranch on Interstate 37s and 150 between Paoli and French Lick (hometown of # 33 Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics!!). The ride was good, and we were all in high spirits after our visit through Fairmount.

We biked from our cabin down to the red covered bridge to greet the rest of the gang (Auntie Marilynn / cousins / Granny & Groom Gram). We had a nice time with our cabins close to one another, hiking trails, swimming, catching bugs and hanging out. Check out the rest of the pictures for more fun. :O)

We're poised by the beautiful horses on the ranch.


We're waiting for our cousins to arrive to play!


They're here!


Two pretty mermaids!


One of the many varieties of butterfly that were flying around the ranch.


Auntie Marilynn and cousins getting ready for a hike ... It is very hot and humid during this time of year. Also, we pretended that we were time travellers back to the age of the dinosaur. A few minutes into our hike, we heard distant thunder which we adults characterised as the roar of dinosaurs. Thankfully, we made it home in time before the torrential rain came pouring!


My favourite picture of the quartet!


After dinner, the boys decided to sit in a big wheel by Chicago's Pizza in French Lick / West Baden Springs.


This Senior Citizens building caught our eye in French Lick. It looked pretty rocking inside when we drove by.


It is only fitting that French Lick's famous son has a street named after him, don't you think?
