Ahh, CA...

Last weekend I took a much needed break from UT, work, the snow, etc. I went home for Sarah Garcia's wedding which I will post about later.

Katie and I flew in on Thursday night, hung with the fam, and rested up for a big Friday. We had plans to shop for a wedding outfit, but to my surprise, we also got to ride horses! I was so excited and borrowed some grungy jeans and riding boots from the Call fam, as they are all very into the riding thing.

It was a total blast and was so fun to get back up on a horse. It was nice too, to get a little instruction from Ann and Katie, since I was obviously a little rusty!

This is Raider, the horse I rode. He was such a sweetie.


This is Whinny, Katie has had him since high school and he's lovable, but stubborn.

They had a really laid back horse at the Barn named Bart Simpson. Katie said that it was so appropriate that this sunny relaxed horse be named Bart!

Here I am kissing Bart! ;) He just loved me!

That sounds like so much fun. The last time I was on a horse was at Caitlin's when the Carter's still lived in California, and I was almost bucked off.
