Taken Sunday morning, from our balcony…
We’re having such fun here, and taking full advantage of the 5 full days we have. On Sunday, we started our day at Banner Elk Stables.
This place had dogs and cats EVERYWHERE! The kids loved that.

From the back, Marley, other rider, Ethan, Payton, and guide.
Kinda fuzzy, but here is Randy and Lainey. Ever tried riding a horse and taking pictures at the same time? Ain’t easy.
Digger, my horse. He was a hungry thing, stopping every now and again for a quick bite. This picture is the only somewhat proof that I was riding!
Better shot of Randy and Lainey…and, their horse Charlie. Payton’s horse was Walter (my dad has always wanted a dog named Walter…), Marley’s was Tootsie (my grandmom used to call ME Tootsie…), EJ’s was Kidd, and Abbey’s was Ginger. I know you were dying for the names of the horses.
Horse riding was fantastic…it was so relaxing to just meander through woods and up and down hills with the breeze blowing. Everyone loved it!
Today, we went to Grandfather Mountain and did some serious climbing…pics tomorrow :)

Naaaaay~ What a great time riding those horses! We laughed about the horse named “Walter”! Lainey fits right in with the dogs and the horses…she looks so cute in the last picture, just like a little cowgirl! The scenery is beautiful! I’ll tell Grandmom that Marley’s horse’s name is “Tootsie”…she’ll get a laugh out of that! Payton, you were right behind the guide up front! You guys look great with those pretty mountains behind you…looks like this is a relaxing week. We heard that the temp. in Boone this morning is 55 degrees…sure beats Florida heat!! Thanks for these great pictures…keep ’em coming, we love it!
