sore body

I was going to post some pics but can't seem to find my camera. I am sure it is around here somewhere.

Yesterday we went on a horse ride in the mountains. I am still amazed at the open access of land here. The state owns most of the land in Idaho so it is free to the public. Back in MO you have to ask to use the river because someone owns it, here you just pick a spot and start fishing. It is grand.
Anyway, we left the ranch around 9:30am and arrived at Sun Valley around 11:30. We then rode horses until 2pm, ate lunch and rode back. I rode a horse named Sassy and she has earned every bit of her name. She has a mind of her own. She kept throwing me into trees, other horses and other riders. She is also a biter. She bit one boy, me and several horses. Sassy did not like to be passed so when another horse would come along she would bite them on the neck. She is sassy, but I like her. We got back to the ranch around 7pm and then it was dinner, showers and lights out. We were exhausted.
I don't know how people ride horses all the time. I am so sore! My whole body hurts and I have lifeguard class again today until Friday.
Virginia stayed with her Aunt Brenda and had fun all day. She got to play with another girl her age named Alexis. They are best friends now.
We have painted our living room and dining room, entrance way and front door. If I can ever find my camera I will take some pics and post them.
Tomorrow is our down day and we have Thursday to Monday off. I can't wait!!!

Anxious to see your pics...you now seem a world apart! I will miss hearing Miss V's first words to sentences. I wouldn't have traded the week for anything! Thank you for sharing her.
