horseback riding!

Nate loves horses and he made a goal this year to become more proficient in horseback riding!  So our fun sister in law Mary Martha has a ranch close by with a lot of horses up there.  So we went for a fun ride!  (and before anyone freaks out that I went horseback riding while I am pregnant...my horse was so SLOW that walking is probably more harmful!  :)

Here is Mary teaching Nate how to saddle the horse.

Doesn't he look like a stud up there!

Here is a group shot before we left!  There is Andrew (nate's brother), me, Mary, and then Nate.
See, there was no need to worry about the baby!  This picture was on zoom and I still didn't get them very well in the shot!  My horse was REALLY SLOW!  :)  But it was so much fun to be out there!  Look at that scenery!
Luckily this picture is kind of blurry so you can't see my cheeks!  :)  But here I am riding Sassy!  She was a great horse!

How fun! (and don't worry--I rode a horse when I was pregnant too :) )

Looks like so much fun! (This is Abbie... Nate was my AP and Zone leader...) I'm sure he doesn't check the comments so I felt like I needed to let you know who I was. The scenery is beautiful absolutely beautiful. Looks like fall has already started coming to Utah.
