We went to the Ponderosa for our Brown family reunion. This reunion is for my great grandparents and their descendants (there are a lot of us). The Ponderosa has great memories and meaning for our family because we went to reunions as children there and stayed in a little cabin called The Bodell Hotel, and if it weren't for the Ponderosa my grandpa may never have found and bought the ranch (which is a few miles down the road), and if it weren't for the ranch, I may never have met Aaron. So we are pretty grateful for the place. We made a quick stop by the ranch so Brigham could see where it all began and show off his first Clear Creek Ranch shirt.
They have made the Ponderosa really nice for guests and there is a lot to do. We enjoyed ladder ball (made by Aaron), mini golf, volleyball, a barn dance, card games, and most of all just sitting around and visiting with family in such a beautiful place.
And lucky for us we will definitely be back in two years for the next one, especially because I was nominated to the reunion committee (we had our first meeting before this one was even over). Nothing like getting a head start for the next one.
