Family Outing

Last Saturday my family went on a outing to look at houses and enjoy the sunshine. As we were driving around we visited the Castlewood Canyon State park. There was a old homestead still standing from 1898 when it was built by a family that had immigrated from Ireland. The Lucas family had eight children and owned 160 acres, they were some of the area's first settlers. The house is now no more than a few concrete walls and a doorway, yet is a neat opportunity to understand more about the lives of those who lived before us.
As usual we brought a camera and took a few pictures, here are the best.

Exploring the Ruins!
