Doodle Room: Third Day at Sweet Grass Ranch

July 11th, 2012

Howdy!

I can't believe the week is already half over!! Where has time gone?? Well, I guess it must have flown because I’ve been having soooooo much fun. I love riding horses and during the free time hanging out with Brianna. The ranch is almost like a home now. Except that I still have to wake up at 7:00 am…

After a quick breakfast, Brianna’s dad, B.J, left Brianna by herself to get her mother at the airport. Brianna came with Paige and I on the fast ride, where we headed back to the lake we visited on the first day. We were able to lope and trot.

Then, Paige and I relaxed in our cabin until Brianna came to visit. Then we sat on the beds talking.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, lunch was served. I was starving!!!

After we digested, I played pool with Brianna again. I love having someone as active as me to hang out with!!!

Then, back in the saddle for a horseman-ship clinic. Roscoe, the guy leading the clinic, was very good around horses and the clinic was very informative.

Next, we headed down to the creek for some more Flotilla fun!! It was just as freezing as yesterday, if not colder!!!

After jumping off the bridge for one more time, Paige and I headed back to our cabin to read and relax a little before dinner. Before you knew it, it was time to eat again. But it was pouring and hailing outside. How were we going to get to the dining hall? Finally, we just sprinted out across the hall and made it to the main building, phew!

Then, it was back to being a “true” cowgirl, meaning more practice roping the fake cow with Brianna.

But soon it was time to be a true suburb girl again. Paige, Brianna and I all squished ourselves onto a sofa in Brianna’s room to look at pictures of all Brianna’s pets on her computer. She even owns a horse, named Reba. After amusing ourselves with crazy pet pictures, we amused ourselves more by watching a truly hilarious sloth, the last mammoth, a quirky saber tooth tigers and a trouble-making squirrel who just wants a acorn. Yep, you guessed it, we watch Ice Age 2, The Meltdown.

Then it was, yawn, time for bed after a quick shower.

Good night y’all!

P.S. I’m very sorry but we have practically no pictures of today because the camera was not brought on the rides, during the clinic or when swimming in the creek. I’ll just post some pictures of the beautiful landscape instead.
