Berry Springs Ranch

Our Jones Family Reunion was held at Berry Springs Ranch in Hurricane, Utah. This is a beautiful home (mansion) owned by Barbara Jones. Barbara is the wife of my Dad's cousin, Jim Jones. Jim passed away 6 years ago, and Barbara and her children use, maintain, and share their beautiful guest home. My brother, Jeff, christened it the "ranchsion" because it's a combination of ranch and mansion. The setting is gorgeous, the grounds beautiful, and the inside is just elegant. There are grand staircases, an elevator (kids loved it!), a large entertainment room. In the back of the house there's a large swimming pool, hot tub, and pond. The pond has a boat, to paddle around in, and fish. The kids loved trying to catch a fish. One of the rooms had "Harry Potter" magic bookshelves. When you push on the bookshelves, they open up to reveal a hidden bathroom/ storage room. This place was really amazing. Everyone had a grand time.

It truly was AMAZING in every way imaginable. We all had a great time and Barbara was so hospitable. I just wandered around watching all these beautiful grandkids who belong to us as they had the time of their lives. Thanks, Lori, for all the great pictures. Love, MOM
