wyoming weekend: part 2

just thought i would share a few more pictures of the ranch 

where we stayed this last weekend...

the house sits on 600 acres.

yeah...that's a lot of land.

the original house was built in the late 60's from a kit 

that was ordered through the mail. 

the two story section was added about 4 years

ago, and the kitchen and baths were all remodeled then as well.

the original owner of the house (our friends grandfather)

traveled all over the world, and brought back some really

unique treasures that have found a home at the ranch.

the rifle is one of those treasures....

the bone and shell inlay are just gorgeous!

this is a shot of a portion of the new addition, which houses 

a large dining/multipurpose room, a huge mudroom, a screened in porch, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. the original house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large family room and a kitchen.

the "new" upstairs hall.

the walls in the entire house (including this new part)

are cedar, which gives the house this incredible woodsy smell.

the floors are oak and the ceilings are pine.

i wouldn't have thought that these woods would work together so

well, but they do!

one of the upstairs guest rooms.

i loved these horns!

i couldn't resist taking a few pictures of these gorgeous

planters in downtown afton.

i am already missing the fresh air and the

green pastures! and , another bonus was that it is was

about 15 degrees cooler than it is here in salt lake city.

in fact, the lilacs and poppies were still in bloom. it was almost 

like we got to see spring twice this year!
