Wolf Lake Ranch

My family and I used to go to a ranch in Michigan when I was younger. We would go the same week every summer and so did the other vacationers. This allowed my whole family to become really close with everyone else that went to Wolf Lake Ranch. Wolf Lake was an outdoorsman's dream; there was a big lake, plenty of horses, a huge dining hall and thousands of outdoor games to play. I starting riding horses very early in life because of this vacation spot and I wish I got to ride them more often today. My family stopped going on vacation to Wolf Lake when I was 12 because the cost was very high, but when I think of my childhood, I often think of Wolf Lake. I created a lot of memories there and it was a perfect place to spend time with my family. There was no television so I was forced to stay active and my cousins and I always found ways to have fun. We would go canoeing in the lake or play king of the hill on the dock. When we weren't in the water, we took long rides through the woods on our horses, singing songs and playing games all while galloping on the trails. When the horses were too tired to ride, we would play games with all the wranglers such as capture the flag or keep away. At meals, the whole Ranch would eat together and play games as we fought for the delicious food. There was never a minute at Wolf Lake when you weren't having fun and I miss it dearly. I imagine one day I will go back, and maybe the faces won't be the same, but I know the entertainment will be endless.
