Riding the Range

On base there is a stable that we have always been curious about and we finally explored it last friday. There are pony rides for 2 dollars for 2 laps around a large trail. We took our good friends the Asays and got the kids all geared up (disneyland provided the outfits). Sarah and I did not wear proper foot wear so we were not allowed to lead the ponies so the kids took turns walking around the trail with the dads who somehow knew that you need to wear hard soled shoes and not flipflops. I think the kids really liked it, I thought it was fun. I wanted to get on the horse myself but to go on guided tours you have to be 7 so it will have to be a time without the children. Anyway here are some pictures from the fun day or rather hour and a half. It was wild though we signed a paper and then they brought the horse out and said have fun, I am not sure that they knew we have no experience with horses but no one got hurt. We also brought carrots for the ponies and the horse wanted them out of my pocket so that is why the horse is wrapped around me and I am laughing in our family shot picture.
