We left after Dan and Nate got off work. Jen was already in Panguitch with their kids. We ended up getting there around 11 pm. We packed Ellie in the house, and just called it a night.
When we got up, we did some 4-wheeling, and Jen caught a horse for us to ride. I'm allergic, so Ellie chose Dan to take her (who are we kidding, I really wasn't a choice, she prefers to do EVERYTHING with Dan!!). Ellie LOVED riding the horse, she told Dan she even liked it more than riding the 4-wheeler. It was such a beautiful day on Saturday...we really lucked out!!
Oh, and I'm totally embarrassed to admit, I had no idea Dan knew how to ride a horse!! He learned how to ride one back when he worked on a farm in Idaho...he said it is just like riding a bike!
Ellie was more than happy to pose (and yes, even smile) on the horse by herself!!
Here is Ellie trying to convince Dan that it is her turn to ride the horse again...
Can you guess what Dan told her just by looking at the picture?
Chase and Ellie play really well together. Ellie does occasionally try to be affectionate which totally grosses Chase out!! Dan loves this picture, he says Ellie looks hardcore!! :P
Jen's parents had everything up there; a trampoline, a playground, 4-wheelers, horses. It was so much fun!!
Hey wait, I've seen that face before...
By the time Ellie got to ride the horse again, she was ready for a nap...you can still see that cute, grumpy face!!
Jen is such a good sport, she caught the horse for us to ride only to catch brutal allergies. A little later we went on a long 4-wheeling ride which only solidified my beliefs that I am just not cut out for the great outdoors!! :P
Ellie pitched a fit when we left Sunday morning. She kept telling me over and over that it (the cabin) was her house....maybe one day...
