We did not want to miss this years changing of colors so we drove down to Kenosha Pass to do some hiking. Isaiah was exhausted by the end.

Anyone who has kids knows the importance of making sure that their days are filled with activity otherwise they will bounce off the walls at home. Since we had our niece (Lea) and nephew (Jordan) visiting from California, that brought the kid count to three at home. Therefore, we had to get out and have them experience horseback riding at the Pokorn Ranch. Actually this ranch is owned by a co-worker of Dulcinea who graciously offered for us to come and spend some quality time with them at their ranch.
The Pokorn's own four beautiful Mustang horses who were all obtained through adoption. To our surprise the horses were so calm, tame, and fun to be aournd as they were definitely trained by the guru Debbie. The ones show in these photos are Shilo (black) and Taz (brown).

We had a blast as it was the kids first time in being able to ride on horses or at least get quality time brushing, feeding, riding, and petting them!
We are exploring the open space areas around Parker. This trail is great if you had horses but not recommended if you are on foot. Too many horse droppings.
