Leaving Rancho Oso and heading to the Bowler Ranch


On Saturday morning, we were all in cleaning and packing mode.  We were all packing up and heading out to Uncle Ted and Aunt Joy's ranch!  They live about 2 hours south of Rancho.

Abby and Drew
 It was hot on the last day, and we found what little shade was left.  See the mountains behind us?  That's what we hiked to get to the waterfall.

 On the road down the mountains.  That's a HOUSE!
 Driving down the Pacific Coast Highway.
 We made it to the Bowler Ranch!
 Daddy surprised us with a lunch at In-And-Out Burger!

 Auntie Joy breads mini Australian Shepards and this was her last puppy that was bought while we were there.  We loved Chewie!

 Uncle Ted at one point had a operating Christmas Tree Farm, but with the threat of fires, he chopped all the trees down.  This is what was left of a few of them.  And behind you two are hundreds and hundreds of avocado trees.
 Between Uncle Ted's and Cousin Kristie's house they made a a large pond and filled it with catfish!
 Some kids run through corn mazes, our's run through avocado trees!
 Eating supper down by the pond.

 I finally caught a catfish!
