The Ranch

We spent last weekend down at Greg and Maleia's Ranch. It was such a blast. We tried to call them before and ask them if we could come, but they didn't get our message, so we were able to surprise them. It was pretty funny. Their house is such a fun, neat ranch house. And they have so much land surrounding them. We loved being able to talk and catch up on things. Morgan and I miss them living closer, but we are so glad they have found a place they will be happy. I know we were sure happy for the few days we were there. Riding out through the ranch was so neat. We definitely had a chance to work on our riding technique, which we really needed. Greg has always been such a great teacher with things like this (skiing, horse riding, etc..). When we finally came up to the longhorns, they were so impressive to watch. Their horns are so intimidating. Maleia and Greg were telling us that they are actually bred to be quite mild animals. One even walked right up close to us. It made me a bit nervous, but you could tell he was just curious about us. When it finally came time to leave, we were so bummed. The drive only takes about 2 1/2 hours, which makes it a lot easier to do more often. We are already planning some time to go back down. I have put the few pictures we took on the trip above this blog. Our camera batteries died, so we didn't get to take as many as we wanted, but we will be back and then we will take some more.
