Went to a place we hadn't been to before. Trails were a little muddy but this loop was pretty much all in the shade so it was very nice. I didn't realize it but this place is right down the road from where our very own Cody keeps her horses so maybe we can go back and meet up with her some time.
We took a break to go look at the lake and when I came back the ponies were standing like this - told the kids to hurry up and get in the shot for a pic.
Sofia was our "almost" fearless leader.
Back by the parking area there was this stream to cross - actually was a bridge for the horses but the kids wanted to play in the water too. The water was crystal clear and there were tons of little baby fish and small crayfish. I told Kelsey to go out to this rock for a pic. Caiden cruised out there too and then when he got to the rock he panicked because he thought the crayfish were going to pinch him. He was hanging on to the rock screaming/crying and trying to get his legs out of the water. My friend and I were laughing uncontrollably (at his over reaction and he was in no danger) and trying to get out boots off to go "save" him, finally got out there and got him lifted up on the rock - but he still wasn't convinced it was safe in the water, lol.

when I was their age I would have done anything to be able to get on a horse or pony!
