"worked cattle" before. Today, we actually just moved some cattle from one end of the ranch to the other. Ashlyn's horse was named Dancer and my horse's name was Dottie. We rode for about 4 hours as we looked for strays and made sure the cows were going where they were supposed to go. John was our Wrangler (trail boss) and Kenny was his helping hand. Kenny just moved up from Wichita Falls. He has competed in rodeos and worked ranches most of his life. John was from Virginia and both were super nice. Saddleback Ranch is an 8,000 acre ranch and is absolutely beautiful. The ride took us up and over mountains and along rivers. We rode with 7 other riders and the two ranch hands that told us where to go and what to do. They made our cattle drive enjoyable. If you are in Steamboat Springs, CO and want to go on a cattle drive, horseback ride or even a wagon ride with dinner, you would love Saddleback Ranch. Their website is www.saddlebackranch.net.
Krystal and Mitchell went to a local presentation called "String Festival". Mitchell said he had a good time but is happy staying at the room for swimming. It doesn't take much to make him happy. Afterwards, we all went out and played miniature golf. We always enjoy a little family competition. ha!
It has been raining while we are here. The locals have told us that they have never seen so much rain. It hasn't stopped us from having fun and especially enjoying the 65-70 degree weather. Tomorrow we are hitting the rapids and doing some whitewater rafting on the Colorado River.
