Stormy Sunshine

Stormy Sunshine -- it may sound like a bit of an oxymoron. But when we're talking about the names of the horses we rode - it's very accurate!

Katie rode Sunshine and demonstrated a true cowgirl spirit by being eager to learn to put on the saddle, brush the horses, etc. Scott rode Stormy and was hopped up on Allergy medication to stop him from sneezing the day away. He took a more hands-off approach to help prolong the day of riding - and it seemed to work, once we were in the cool fresh air, his allergies were fine.

Katie was totally in her element - surrounded by cats, dogs and all the barn yard animals. There were several cat discussions as she played with the new kittens - but we came home as we had left...cat-free. Although, Scott did actually touch the kittens (could he be changing his mind?!)



We had tons of fun with Kyle & Melissa. It was a definite "laugh while you learn" type of session! As you can see by the photos, it's already snowing in Calgary - much more so near the mountains where we went riding. But we had a great time and we went to their place afterwards for some hot chocolate and an amazing dinner -- thanks again guys!
