The Ranch

I just got back from my aunt and uncle's ranch near Kansas City a few days ago. My mom, dad, sister, and I went for about 5 days. It was a very nice break from work and my normal life really. That's a life very opposite of what I'm used to. Riding horses, four-wheeling, fishing, swimming in the lake, swimming on horses, scavenger hunt in the woods, just being outdoors all the time. I loved it! And it wasn't just any random ranch...I got to spend some quality time with my sister and cousins, Danielle and Morgan. Us four girls have always been close and even if we go months without seeing each other, we act like we've never been apart.
This vacation was definitely an adventure with lots of memories! Danielle had to climb a tree to get a lure out while we were attempting to fish. Long story, but after our motor getting clogged with seaweed and dying, Morgan losing a shoe, Lin dropping the fishing pole into the lake, me fighting with a tree, and Danielle almost falling out of the tree because the wind was blowing so hard, we finally got the lure. We were soaking wet, dirty, and had cuts all over us, but it was worth it! That wasn't the only near death experience either! I decided the next day to try to ride side-saddle on a horse while it was loping. Well, we turned the corner, she saw the barn and took off running. I almost couldn't stop the horse and about had to jump off, but somehow the horse stopped and I'm still living as far as I know. So many stories that I would love to tell, but pictures will probably explain a lot.
