{ horses }

If you’re friends with me on facebook, then you already know that we took a trip home for the 4th of July, considering I documented nearly the whole trip via iphone pictures and updates. ;)  While this is a little belated, I thought I’d share a few photos I took while we were staying with Jamie’s parents. They have four horses and a whole bunch of land with gently rolling hills and tall waving grasses.  It’s really pretty. No, like REALLY pretty  :)  I find myself staring out the window a lot while we’re there, it’s just so different from the view out my own windows at home. They ride horses a lot, mostly on trails with their other horse-riding friends. Me, well, this was my third time EVER on a horse. On this particular morning, we leisurely trotted along around their land in their backyard. It was SO nice. The bright sunshine warmed my face, a light breeze ran over my skin and through my hair, and the feeling of freedom swept over me. I felt further away from my to-do list than I ever have. I can see why they like this so much  :)

Chris and Gary, thank you for taking us out riding!  We had such a wonderful time with you, hope to see you again very soon!   xoxo ~ Kristen
