Circle K Family Reunion

Verla's dad owned a commercial guest ranch in southwest Colorado in the 60's and
70's. In keeping with their King surname, the ranch was called Circle K (the brand was a circle with a K in the middle) Although Dad King sold the ranch years ago, the King family have been having biennial family reunions at a campsite on the Dolores River near the original ranch for the last ten years. This summer marked the 50th anniversary of the start of Circle K so this reunion held special significance. It was held over the 4th of July weekend and Verla's brothers arranged for the family to march in the 4th of July parade at nearby Rico. Here are some pictures of that fun event.


Our grandkids had lots of fun at a place they called the nature center. Eden was "in charge" with Tyler as her back up leader. Funny how kids establish authority figures even when they are playing.
Here are Eden and Owen keeping an eye on camp.
