We have been promising the kids since last summer that we would take them horse back riding and it was the perfect opportunity this week since Doug was off. They were so, so excited to go and couldn't wait to get up on the horses! It was also kind of special because we took them back to the place where Doug and I had gone on one of our very first dates. The kids did great! Doug had a horse named Liberty, who was a bit of a trouble maker, honestly, but he could handle it. Noah rode on Dakota, Rachel on Huck, and Kate and I were on Chester. Our horse was just as sweet as he could be and you could tell he was very used to the trail and what he was supposed to be doing. Rachel's horse liked to stop and eat the leaves and at the very end of the ride, he jumped the low fence with her and spooked her a little. She did fine though as the road ran right by the trail and Huck just walked down to the barn alongside the rest of us. It was a beautiful day and the rain that was coming held off until we were all done with our ride. Such a special day and time together.
