Horses

One of the wishes that our two older girls had was to ride horses on vacation.  The intention was to ride in Myrtle Beach but with stables there charging as much as $100 per hour - we were unable to ride there.

Once we got to Asheville we found that horse time was much more reasonable and it works out quite well because the mountain views would have been hard to beat anywhere.  After letting mom off at the conference we went to saddle up.

This would be our trail boss - I can't remember his name

I worked on Emily Grace's hair - but after this picture 

These girls were ready to go!

So off we went

These girls rode like champions

We went up the mountain

Through the Cows

To some very beautiful country 

Near the top of the mountain the view was breathtaking 

After the ride we were tired, hungry, and mostly thirsty.  We found a Sonic, one that you could sit inside and eat - quite a novelty for these girls.

Emily found a rock to track down

Shortly after lunch we picked Megan up at the conference center and headed for home.  We were ready to get home but hated to see this time that we set aside just for us come to an end.  By the grace of God we will have more adventures and vacation (we hope and pray) will come again next year.  We already have talked about it a lot. Stay tuned, you never know where we may show up next.  I'll bet you can't guess.
