On our way into Waterton the day before, we stopped and talked to a guy who took people out on horseback rides. My girls have BEGGED me for years to let them ride a horse. Since a) we don't live on a farm, b) we don't own horses, and c) most places have an age-limit of 12...we haven't done it yet.
For our new friend, Ty...age wasn't a problem. We were sold. We set up our hour-long horseback ride for 1pm the next day.
Shortly after arriving, the girls met their new companions. Ellie was saddled up and perched on "Hero".
Lindy couldn't have been more happy. Her choice for a horse was "Blue".
Curtis rode with Daddy on "Freckles". Here he is, on Lindy's horse, showing how much he enjoyed the ride. (Being on a small saddle with another person, having the pommel consistently pummel you in a sensitive area wasn't his idea of fun.)
The girls loved every minute of it. A dream come true. Unfortunately for Lindy...she ended up being quite allergic to her favorite animal. She wasn't very happy about it.
After riding, we made our way into Waterton once again to visit another favorite place, Red Rock Canyon.
On the way out of the canyon, we met a nice black bear.
(If you haven't guessed by now...it wasn't a real bear. But we sure shocked both grandmas when we pulled out these pictures. Neither of them were too pleased with us, I'll tell you that much.)
