It was Monday, September 8th, 2014, and Ryan, Biby, and about 25 of their closest friends and family members (including us) hopped in our cars and caravanned down to The Hideout Lodge. Located about 14 miles past Kirkwood, and 2 miles off the highway down a dirt road, this place was both secluded and gorgeous. The Ryggs, Transues, and Langes (3 families with young kids) took over The Lookout Lodge, a separate house up the hill from the rest of the complex. It was awesome…quiet place with lots of extra room to escape with the kids, but only a quick 5 minute walk from the main events. The first day here we just got our bearings and started getting a few things set up. We enjoyed a fantastic Hungarian Dinner courtesy of Biby's family, and had fun cocktail parties and late night libations in the saloon. Already we could tell that this place was so special and more great things were in store for us!
