Making Memories

 Awhile back Haylie and I marked the 3rd - 4th of June for a mom and daughter overnight horse trip. As the dates grew closer, things started to get busier, the weather was rainy, our stress bottle was full...... it just didn't seem like our trip would happen. I didn't want to cancel just because "life" was happening and frankly I need the quiet time with God, my horse, my daughter, and nature. We had planned to pack all our camping gear on our horses and find the perfect spot to pitch our camp. To simplify things and to make sure we actually got out of town, we decided to load the camper and just ride in and out for two days. I knew it would be a blast regardless how we camped. (Secretly I was thrilled to have a soft mattress vs the cold hard ground. Getting older or wiser....call it how you want) Haylie and I quickly loaded the horses and headed for Thompson Falls Pass. Two days atop a magnificent creature, traveling through God's master piece, with my beautiful daughter was exactly what life needed. I hope the pictures give you a little since of the serenity. 

Not even out of town and we blow a tire on the horse trailer. This was not the way we wanted to start our day. Thanks to my wonderful husband, he had a new tire put on in no time and we were back on the road. 

Headed to Revett Lake

Revett Lake - Haylie and Hawkeye dived right in

Queenie decided the water wasn't to bad

Enjoying the quiet

One of God's many master pieces

Water falls and water were flowing everywhere!

Queenie had fun tagging along

Good ol' Hawkeye is one of the best mountain horses. 

Early morning walk. This girl loves her horses. 

Headed into Blossom Lake

Amazing Views

Haylie was so excited that we had got to cross a bridge, no matter how small. 

Can't get enough of the views

Haylie always wants us to get the horses in our "selfies", it's quite impressive that we got all 3 horses in.

Can you see Blossom Lake?

Ha! This mom can still wear her kiddo out. :)

Looking forward to many more of these trips with this girl!
