The sunset friday night was a nice one. Remember this sneak peek photo that I put up earlier?
No, the picture above that I posted the other day (as a sneak peek) is not my unruly hair.In fact, it is this guys wild bangs!
We went on a sunset horseback ride. I was reminded of the proper way to handle the reigns before we set out on our ride.
The scenery was very nice. We saw a few interesting things like a big pack rat den, lots of saguaro, a coyote, and even a far off view of Julio Iglesias' home.
Also, an old entrance to a mining cave.
Here we are at the top of the mountain. The sun was just about to set. Notice the horse in the middle. People who knew our old guy Racer should see a resemblance. From left to right, the horses names were; Tux, Paint, Destiny, Tiana (or Big Girl as our guide called her) and Jester.
Here they were getting a little run up the hill. Hold on nnnn...
A nice view.
As we were coming down the mountain the moon was already up. Now that is a pretty site to see.

The saguaro's standing tall as the sun was going down.
And the sun was setting just perfectly. Notice a faint silhouette of our cowboy guide in the left hand corner. You know, sometimes it is just amazing the coincidences in life. He spends his winters here and then heads to Ouray,Ridgway, Silverton and Durango, Colorado for the summers. He dines at a couple of our favorite restaurants, in our home town, when he is in the area. So, friends back there in Colorado, he is a cowboy with our names and plans to say he took us on a trail ride. Don't be surprised if someone hears about it!
Just another nice view of the setting sun and the tall saguaro's.
And back at the corral, we were all able to feed these guys a few carrots. They knew they get a treat after a big ride.
All smiles back at the livery stable.
See, it was a beautiful evening in the neigh borhood!************************************************************************************
Note: The basketball girl is having surgery on her wrist tomorrow (tuesday). She will turn in her brace that she has been wearing for a cast. It will be on for 6 weeks. Then therapy. Her accessory for prom will be a little out of the ordinary this year. Ughh.
Fun times.
ReplyDeleteThe horseback riding, not the surgery.
We're wishing Rachel a speedy recovery.
It's good to know it wasn't your unruly hair in the teaser picture. I'd feel sorry for you otherwise. It looks like you all had a great time with Austin home. We all hope Rachel has a quick recovery although Carter is a little jealous that Rachel will have a cast.
