Better late than never......

Grace finally got her birthday present from us from June! She really wanted to do a trail ride with her Daddy and because the summer was so busy we decided to wait a bit.......then a bit turned into 4 months! Poor Grace has been SO patient......finally the day was put on the calendar and this weekend they did their "cowboys for a day". It was the cutest thing to see them all dressed up and ready to go. The place where they ride is beautiful and Grace had taken a lesson from them already so she was able to do the trail ride on a horse (instead of a pony) without a lead rope so that was exciting! Justin said she did a very good job and he was very impressed with his little cowgirl. ;)

A little practice.
Grace and Seraphine
Ready to go!

The tallest mountain point in the bottom photo is where they rode to.....that's a pretty good ride for a girl who's only ridden two times. (Probably better Daddy was in charge of this one.....yikes!)
She looks like a natural though. :)

Up they go......
And to get this view at the top is pretty rewarding.



She said her horse was stopping every few minutes to eat from the bushes. ;)

Can't help but notice my handsome cowboy in the back.......I'm liking this look! ;)
LOVE this picture!
And that's how we do it here in the wild wild west......happy birthday Grace, I hope this was a wonderful memory for you???
Love this girl!!!!
