Our next stop was a pretty lake whose name I can’t remember. I truly think we would have had a longer day of it up in the mountains had Laurent been a little less whimsical. But she just had to take off her shoes and socks and start dabbling her toes… then wading… and before I knew it, she was up to her chin in the lake, splashing everyone until the rest of them gleefully followed her, despite the rather chilly temperatures and overcast skies. Nonetheless, one can’t argue with water fun, but goodness, they were cold for a while after we left!
Back at the ranch we enjoyed another beautiful evening basking in gorgeous sunset golds and pinks, and playing with beetles. So many beetle friends on this trip!
