Durango for Labor Day

Our friends, Kevin and Nikki, invited us to the Hanger family ranch in Durango over the Labor Day weekend. We were excited for the invite and the idea of escaping Arizona heat for a few days. We drove up with Kevin, Nikki, and their dog Maggie on Thursday night after work.

On Friday, we went for a quad ride around their property. The ranch was so relaxing. We saw plenty of deer and some people even spotted a bear about 100 yards from the house! I missed the bear sighting, but Nikki and I did go try and find him, but no luck (thank god).

Finally on the last day, Kevin and Aaron woke up early to get the horses ready for Nikki and I to ride. They knew it would get them points, but it was a really nice gesture. The horses hadn't been on a ride in a while, but they were good sports and it was a great end to a great weekend.

Thank you Hanger family for the wonderful weekend!

Smoking one of those gum candy cigs Nikki picked up in town. He looks pretty cool though, huh? ;)
