Washington Trip



Last weekend our family was able to go to Washington for a little fun and relaxation! We had such a great time, we were able to go with other family members (Mom,Robbie, Kara and sweet baby Ivy)Which made the the trip 10 times better! We all drove together in one car, yep all seven of us in a mini van, squished in like sardines! We watched some movies on the way up, (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and The Sandlot, both great movies :) And the babies both did really well!
We spent the weekend fourwheeling, playing cards, watching movies and Horseback Riding!


Tyson was a complete natural with the horses, he helped clean them and saddle them up, and then hopped up on his horse with no fear! He started riding it like he had been riding for years! He was soon racing his horse with Robbie they were both full out running! He was a natural cowboy, and really loved every minute with the horses.

I on the other hand was very reluctant to just hop on top of a huge horse that i felt like i had no control over, i mean, i could just see myself riding off into the sunset with my horse going a million miles and hour and me just trying not to fall off! :) So i took some practice riding around in the pasture first, where i soon got the hang of things! And it wasnt to long until i was able to feel confident and in control and able to have some fun!! And i ended up loving riding!


Little Tyson absolutly loved the fourwheelers! he would ride with mommy or daddy with a huge smile on his face and kept saying "VROOM VROOM" At first he wasnt to sure of the horses, but once he was up there he was smiling and saying "Vroom Vroom" to the horses too! During the horse ride he ended up biting his tongue (poor guy) but was asleep by the time we were home!



We all really had a great time and even stayed an extra day because we loved it so much! We cant wait to go back!!! And of course we took way too many pictures to post but i wanted to post a slide show so I could share all the cute pictures with you!
