Breakfast Ride and Hatchet Throws


I had to wake the boys up this morning at 7am!  Then we grabbed a quick snack of muffins, yogurt or nut bread before lining up for the big Breakfast Ride!  Everyone at the ranch rode together in their family groups after getting photos taken on our horses.  We had about a 90 minute ride up hills, by the river, through the woods and across the Colorado River to a beautiful picnic area where the chef and his crew had prepared a hug breakfast over open fires.  We ate bacon, sausage, potatoes, scrambled eggs, pancakes and sourdough biscuits!  Then we rode back separately.  Liam and Vincent went with the Range Riders, Luca did a moderate ride where they lopped several times and I did a scenic ride.  John was able to return by car.
The rest of the day was pretty relaxed until after supper when we all got to throw hatchets at a target and shoot a bow and arrows.  Liam and Luca did really well at archery while Vincent excelled with the hatchets.  John and I just looked silly out there but there was lots of laughter and comradery.
