a real COWGIRL!

My little Elli loves horses and loves to go on rides with Grandpa Dave! So after a lot of tears and rearranging schedules we finally made it out to Grandpa's house! So, they get them all saddled up and they were on their way as they were walking around the field for the first time they were watching and talking about the cute ducks they saw over in the retention pond, I guess the horses forgot to listen cause they ducks decided to fly away and scare the heck out of the horses! So Grandpa's legs go up and he almost goes off and Elli's horse shyed, she fell off and her horse took off running! Madi is yelling "mom Elli just fell off her horse" So I go running out into the field and she was all muddy and a little shaky and just a few tears, but she did what a real cowgirl would do.....She got right back on the horse. It took a while for the smile to come back upon her face but she rode for over an hour. It is fun to see her and my dad having a great time together and both are thoroughly happy!

Camping at Trial Lake!

So ........for Chads Birthday we went camping for the night at Trial Lake! We had so much fun. We were worried that the weather would not cooperate but it was nice. We saw a mommy and baby deer right by our tent and the mountain air was yummy! Nice birthday cake with pine needles for candles. The next morning after a great instant oatmeal breakfast we were off on an huge hike! We met mom and dad at the trail head of Baldy Mountain, 2 miles to summit. We all had a great time, the girls did great and so did grandpa. We were so proud! The view was amazing! We usually sit on the screen porch looking at baldy but now we were on top of the world looking down at clouds and birds!
we had such a great time! Happy 39th Birthday Chad!
