This year Lindsie and DJ got to go on a horseback ride. They were pretty excited! Lindsie loves to ride horses, and DJ hasn't ever ridden other than the pony ride.
Here they are getting to know their horses. DJ's horse was named "Chuck Norris." He thought that was awesome. (Not really sure if he even knows who Chuck Norris is). Lindsie rode Opie. (Pretty sure she doesn't know who Opie is either).
Lindsie is ready to roll. She is a natural on a horse. She wants to own her own horse and live in Oregon one day.
DJ was a little more nervous at the beginning, but he soon relaxed and had a great time.
Down the trail they go! They rode for about 1 1/2 hours. They got lucky and had great weather. Later that day we had a huge thunderstorm. If they had chosen the afternoon ride, they wouldn't have gotten to go.
Poor Jarod got left back at the corral. You have to be 8 to ride, and he isn't there yet. But he did get to do a pony ride around the corral. He thought it wasn't cool that his brother and sister got to head down the trail and he didn't, but we convinced him it was ok. He has NEVER been on a horse before.
Having a great time. Now he says he is totally ready to go on an ride on his own next year and not have somebody holding onto the lead rope!
Thanks for the ride!

Okay, Lindsie REALLY looks like you in these pictures!
So did just Lindsie and DJ go or did you or Dean go with them? That would be a little nerve racking to let them go alone, or maybe it was nice..? I remember when I got to do the horse back ride up there with Dad, it was so fun. I was probably a little younger than Lindsie. Poor Jarod, first he doesn't get to go on the airplane and then he doesn't get to ride the horse. It sucks being the youngest!!! Soon Jarod, soon...
They went with Grandma. Dean can't go cuz of his back and I just didn't want to.
Looks like a great experience. Personally, a horse is too high off the ground, I can't keep one foot down. I'm glad they got to go.
