On down to Valley Cruis Ranch for some horseback riding. This first horse pictured was not to happy so I had to change out horses.:( The next pictures was Maggie Beth's and the last one was Cindy's. This ended up being a girls ride since someone needed to stay with Boyd so all the guys stayed back. We rode up a mountain and enjoyed the scenery.

It was great to get away to the mountains! The air was so cool and clean. After dealing with the Okefenokee Swamp fires it was really refreshing. The only thing that would have made it better would have been for Cory and his family to join us. Trying to get family pictures is always a challenge.
