Horseback Riding Adventure

Last week we took the girls up to Leavenworth for a quick 2 day getaway. It was fun. We planned to go water rafting, but the river was still too high, so we didn't get to. We did, however, get to go horseback riding. The girls always beg me to take them riding, but we really never have time to. So... I made time. Oh, we had so much fun. Everyone got there own horse, even Madeline! The only thing was that she had our guide hold the lead rope on her horse. We all loved it. It was an awesome experience for the girls. Here are a few pictures of the outing.
Yeah, Andy even got a picture of me on the horse.
The trail was 5 miles long up and back down the mountainside.
And the last picture is the view from the top. Our car was but a tiny speck from way up there! All in all, it was a fun time, and I'd love to do it again soon. If you are ever up there, we rode at Eagle Creek Ranch in Leavenworth. They are fantastically priced, have awesome horses and have a very kind family that runs it. You should check them out.
