This was a super fun day on our trip. We went to the Texas ranch of some great friends of ours. They were so gracious to have us, especially since their kids just left that morning from their Christmas visits. Maddie and Jackie were especially excited to go to the ranch and ride the horses. We had a fun ride through just a small bit of their 1000 acre property. I rode a mule named Molly and let me tell you, she had a mind of her own. I mostly kept her under control but there is truth to the saying "stubborn as a mule"! The girls wanted to keep trotting - a little rough on the rump if you ask me.
John, Colin, and Abbey rode 4 wheel ATV's while we rode the horses. They too had lots of fun exploring the land via trails and no trails. No accidents and tons of fun!
After exploring the ranch, we headed back to the main house, which is set at the top of a ridge with an incredible view! The home itself is amazing too. There were beautiful guest suites and a bunk room for the kids to sleep in. A pool and hot tub overlooking the river below and miles of Texas were like a fancy resort, which is what we felt like we were staying at with the benefit of good friends as hosts. It was great to catch up over a delicious home cooked meal and s'mores in the outdoor fireplace.

It was great to see some familiar faces again after so many days and miles on the road. What a wonderful day!
