Ralph Goes Horseback Riding





Father and son prepare
for a ride through the forest

 
Justin said, "I don't know if that horse can carry you."
Ralph replied, "That's cold."


Preparations continue



Justin said, "You cannot leap onto the horse - you think you're Zorro or sumpthin"?"
Ralph replied, "That's cold."
Yes, the people in the background are young and yes they are laughing.


Zorro aboard Valena

 Zorro and Valena became very close after their up close and personal discussion about running under low tree branches.  Carol thought the horses were too high off the ground, so we left her in the cantina.



The ride begins!

  Justin said, "Dad this isn't rocket science and yelling, 'Turn left you jackass" won't help."
Ralph said, "Okay, okay" and he continued, "Valena, pretty Valena; turn left or I'll slap you upside the head."
Justin muttered something I can't imagine was complimentary, and he left.  Valena followed his horse.
Okay, so perhaps not all of us were born to ride, but it was loads of fun, sore butt and all.
