We're heading out at six tomorrow morning to go camping this weekend. We'll meet my Aunt Donna, our friend Cindy, the dogs: Wrangler, Oreo, & Zeb, and the horses: Rocky, Whistler, & Mouse. I'll spend the day riding w/Donna and Cindy while the boys have some testosterone time. Saturday morning the girls will all ride out to the Atlanta, Idaho, hot springs and the boys will drive out and meet us there. Saturday will be Arlo's first trip horseback riding with me! The other three dogs always go and I've wished and wished for Arlo to be along but he's too young still for it. Saturday will be a short ride through forest vs the day-long rides in desert we usually take so Arlo should do all right. I'm still nervous for him, though!
The Perkins will either head home from the hot springs or camp another night. Probably another night. Andy and I have yet to set out with an "And maybe stay another night" without actually staying the extra night. Ooh, and this will be our first trip in our new minivan! That's right, folks. Andy finally talked me into a minivan (though the wagon's still my day-to-day get around; the van's for when we have extra folks along). You can thank the Knutson's for getting Andy hooked on the Previa idea and thank Craig's List for what (so far) seems like a good deal.
sounds wonderful Lynn!! I hope Arlo makes it, I can't quite imagine what a labradoodle will look like on the back of a horse, hmmmm. And I hope I can convert you to using the Previa as your everyday car. I really love mine. One of the baristas at my Marietta Starbucks said,"Wow, that's a cool car! What is it?" "Why, it's a Toyota Previa, they don't make them anymore. I love it" May you have such a mom-ego-stroking moment in your Prev!!
