Giddy Up...

If you are from Texas or somewhere out west, this may look familiar, but for most of our kids this was the first time they had spent anytime on a ranch or more than a few minutes on a horse. Our final summer adventure this year was to try something new. Little did we know that just outside of town is a beautiful ranch with horses. From the youngest to the oldest everyone tried out the horseback riding adventure!










A few of the kids were old pros as they had ridden when they were younger at home. Others were fast learners and quickly left the corral for a walk through the forest trails. There were a few that were a little nervous about being on something so big that they weren't sure they could control, but they gave it a shot. A great life lesson.











We went out to the ranch in three different groups and each had a wonderful time riding, playing games, singing and talking at the camp fire, making smores and more. It was a blessing to have this fun, relaxing time together before school begins on Monday.
