Good Times

Kathy calls this the 3 Musketeers. But I would say it should be called Superwoman since the lady taking the picture wrestled these 3 (Colt 1, Kinsley 2, Carly 3) all by herself while the rest of us rode for 2 or 3 hours. Good times with cousins, I remember those so clearly from when I was young. Both on the Christiansen side and the Mattson side. Memories to last a lifetime. Friendships that may fade a little, but a connection that is always there called family.

Let me set the scene. This is our "crew." Left to right: Ryder & Jalepeno, Grandma Kathy, Tiffany & Peanut, Grandpa Wayne & Yellow horse, Lauren & Wes (way back), Katie & Roy, Whitney & Paskel. Yup, that's it, what an awesome day, everyone survived, had a great time and this is less than half of the riders. We are missing 3 grandkids that are too little to go, Todd and Wade. Just wait, couple more years and we will fill up this photo, all on horses. All three kids ride by themselves. Whitney can get on and off by herself. Man, they are getting big. Ryder is 5, Lauren is 7, Whitney is 10!

Three of my most favorite and important things in the whole world right in one spot: Family, Horses and the Hills!
