horsing around

how cool is this? horseback riding in the mountains! beautiful surroundings and great company, both human and animal (mccray, roy, walker and crash.) it was so much fun. it wasn't your typical trail ride where the guide will only allow you to walk....we ran...well, galloped. there was even a little competition between brother and sister....who could get past who. kylee wasn't too pleased with her horse crash when she was left behind, "h'yaaaah crash! oh, come on crash." he obviously wasn't going fast enough. he eventually caught up.

she was quite the chatty kathy until the end where i think she was more relaxed than anything. me on the other hand, i was having a blast, just trying not to pee all over myself (should've gone to the bathroom before hand), the guide even offered to stop so i could go. it took me all of a second to say, "mmmmm, no thanks."

did i mention how sore we all are. whao! i forgot how sore you get after riding a horse. i can not imagine back in the day when people rode them cross country. no thank you. it's really fun, but after 45 mins, my butt has had enough. is that why cowboys tend to have flat butts? anyway, we have to go home in a day and a half....we are so sad, but we have had so much fun. it is so nice up here. very relaxing...except for when little miss lainey decides that she doesn't want to sleep at night (which never happens at home), little stinker!
