Spring Mountain Ranch Ladies Night

Every summer my mom organizes a girls only trip to Spring Mountain Ranch, about 30 minutes out of town, to watch a play. This year we went to see West Side Story. We brought Subway for our picnic dinner. You have to be there early to get a spot , so then we had about 2 hours to kill.


The girls went to "The Meadow" where a ranch house that once belonged to Howard Hughes, then later Vera Krupp, is open to the public. The house has a secret passage that leads from the master bedroom to a "secret room" room in the back. My sister, Jolynn, told the kids to watch for ghosts - this is their scared faces. Camryn has acting potential.

Next, the girls found a spot to practice a show of their own - it involved very interesting gymnastics moves.


The play finally started. It involved more adult content than my girls could handle. Alexis let it go over her head, but Camryn had lots of questions. The take home message was - don't sleep with guys that just killed your brother, even if he didn't mean it. It was a fun night anyway. The kids enjoyed the singing and dancing. It was late and Camryn passed out on the way home.
