Bethany's birthday celebration this year was extra special for all of us. She has been wanting to go horseback riding and be able to ride alone without sharing a horse with one of us.
We found just the place. The kids also got to brush their horses and put their saddles on, before a quick lesson and an adventure on the trail.
You can see for yourself if you want to. She had so much fun! Who am I kidding? We ALL did!Meanwhile, back at the ranch (a.k.a. Cracker Barrel)...
...we took a quick little stroll down memory lane.
and played checkers on their big, lazy porch.
Bethany went to work beating Dad...
...while Ben plotted my demise.
I suspect I'll get a rematch, because I'm quite sure Bethany will want us to go back!
Looks like HEAPS of fun! What a great birthday treat. And your photography was, as always, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYee Haw! So, Trace, I've got a book rec for you in the wake of your horsey expedition. Just finished Seabiscuit...a great read!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! Loved drooling over, er I mean looking at, all that candy! Especially the chocolate bars! Lord have mercy!
ReplyDeleteCracker Barrel candy - I almost always buy some when I'm there. I'm partial to the soft peppermints. :) blessings, marlene
