Weekend at Alisal



We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Alisal Guest Ranch, courtesy of Trace. It was great to be with Trace and all of our kids combined. It's a perfect time of year, chilly in the mornings and crisp sunshine during the day. Ben and Kristian experienced their first horseback ride. Since neither one fell off, we consider them ready for the advanced group now. Laine experienced her first hayride and she thought it was pretty cool. Everyone rode either on horseback or the hayride, out to a fantastic pancake breakfast, complete with campfire and singing cowboy. This ranch has something for everyone, with a lake for fishing, golf, a petting zoo (Laine was pretty impressed with the pigs and chickens), and on and on. Laine also had her first time on a horse. It was amazing to see her up on Bullwinkle , laughing and behaving like a little cowgirl. It can't get any better....
