Mountain Lodge Wedding
Soooo Romantic!

Is this a Bed & Breakfast wedding with a Murder Mystery Game?

or a

B&B Murder Mystery Weekend with a wedding?

Most people elope to a dude ranch to get away from their family and friends. They want a relaxed, very simple ceremony and a fun weekend getaway horseback riding.

Dude Ranch Wedding
Country Inn Wedding

Well, Joel and Sheri decided to have a simple, relaxed ceremony, but brought their family, including all the kids and the dogs.

Why? They had an opportunity to tie the knot while on pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and were married while visiting the Sea of Galilee. Wow!

But what of mom and dad? And what of the gang of brothers and sisters and the small herd of nephews and nieces?

What to do?

Cocoa Tasting Her New Creation

Sheri is a brilliant woman – she brought the family together for a re-do and just for fun a murder mystery game for the weekend! Joel’s a pretty smart guy – he married a brilliant woman! Twice!

Despite the Dog's Best Efforts, Cocoa Dies

Everyone had a great weekend except Cocoa. Poor Cocoa!

She takes one taste of her new candy, and dies! Dead  as a doornail, despite the dog’s best efforts at muzzle to mouth resuscitation.

Two Murder Mystery Weekend Suspects
Two Suspects: Princess Leia & Luke Jr???

Who did it???

The list of suspects includes almost everyone who attended the wedding!

So here’s a small collection of some of the pictures from the murder mystery game and the wedding.

Mountain Lodge Horse Back Riding in the Snow

Mountain lodge guest Laura horse back riding on dude ranch Skip!
Laura and Skip enjoy the snow.

Hmmmm…… The weather people call for an October total of 2.9 inches of snow for our area. We got that three weeks ago, and it disappeared the next morning, as October snow should. The aspens still claim October as theirs; time to show off their golden leaves.

Oops! Wait a minute – we got a good eight more inches last night, and another six inches falling today!

The dogs are delighted! The older horses are playing like foals! The goats are making snow angels and laughing!

And the guests riding in the snow? Just look at their faces…

Mountain Lodge Horse back Riding: Stacy and Kevin:
This Sure Ain't Houston Horse back Riding Y'all!

Tracy (from Houston!) says that riding in the snow is spectacular. I think that Laura (from Cleveland) agrees. Not too sure what Texan Kevin (also from Houston) thinks, but his horse, Jack is a happy fella! At lunch Kevin said it was a great ride…

Cowboy Victor was born and raised up here – he’s just cold!
