K is Off to Horsemanship Camp

Yesterday K and I left our home at 8:00 AM to start our trip to a destination that brought much delight to K... a Christian Horsemanship camp. One week filled with Bible studies and  horsemanship training.  One week with a horse dedicated to K. A week of working with a horse. A week of meeting and making new friends. A week of nightly bonfires. A week to be in the glorious outdoors.  A week without chores. A week without her cats. A week without her sisters. A week without her MOMMA!

Are you crying yet?  I am.

We drove for an hour and stopped by my friend R's house.  K, S (R's daughter) and  I piled in to R's car and headed on up to road. We arrived in the town

Quaint and charming old homes.

 at the bottom of the mountain at about 1:30 PM and ate lunch at a local, seat yourself

family owned cafe.

It and McDonald's were the only restaurants open on a Sunday. After lunch we drove up the mountain.

As we drove up the road kept getting narrower and narrower. We past by this pond.

In some places the roads were very rutty. What a nice retreat it is high up in the mountains (like 8000' high).  Must be getting close because here's a horse trailer.

Aspens

and pines were everywhere.

There was a large building that was the dining facility,

Dining hall

a chapel, a canteen for buying snacks in an office building, and bunkhouses for the campers.

Found out there will be 38 campers.  They will have about 50 horses.  Thursday they will ride their horse up to the top of this  mountain.

Everyday will involve working with horses.

They also had a rock climbing board.

It was as tall as a 3 or 4 story building.

K has the camera so I'll post pictures when she gets back.

Miss you K!!!!
