Wondering what to do with young kids during your Winthrop stay?  Look no farther than our wonderful library system.  Both Winthrop and Twisp have their own libraries that are part of the larger North Central Washington Regional LIbrary system.  The regional library system allows us Rural Readers to request any book that we’d like to read that might not be on the shelf at one of our libraries.  Whether you are looking for a little Seamus Heaney or Nicolas Sparks’ latest our lovely librarians, Sally (Winthrop) and Terry (Twisp) can order whatever you are looking for.

The NCRL also has a wonderful summer reading program for children, “Dream Big! Read!” which hosts a variety of events and readings through out the summer for children.  Last week we saw a fun puppet show in Winthrop and then capped the experience off with a home viewing of Being Elmo.  Have you seen this documentary about Kevin Clash who is Elmo’s puppeteer?  It is so worth seeing- my 72 year old father in law as well as my 3 year old were held in rapt attention.  No easy feat for a documentary!

Thank you note

I love the little notes that guests leave.  I imagine them packing up on the morning of their departure, folding their clothes back into suitcases and reflecting upon their stay.  Today I found this note at the Ranch House:

Sarah and Daren,

Thanks for the great stay.  What a wonderful place, a little bit of heaven.  Hope to stay in touch and will definitely recommend your place.  Best wishes for the summer.

Gift Certificate

Thank you Julie Clegg of Bailey & Banjo for offering this generous gift certificate to Spring Creek’s canine guests (and their human companions- of course).  Julie came to Spring Creek Ranch last summer to photograph the Ranch for CityDog Magazine.  Her beautiful photography is featured in this edition of CityDog.  You can see all of the wonderful Winthrop out takes here.

Thank you to Riverside Printing for printing all of the cards and thank you to Bailey & Banjo for partnering with us on this project!

Weekend Clips

Our weekend was filled with rose buds, butterflies, baby fawns, bike rides, an attempted dog shave and a special trip to see The Avengers.  And yours?
