1. Wild Stallion Scamperoo
Sheri and I did one of the funnest things we've done as a married couple - horseback riding! It was amazing. The reason why it was so cool is because except for once, every time I've gone riding it's been a "horseback riding adventure", which is a fancy way of saying, "single-file death march". I've been forced to sit on my emaciated steed while it shuffles along the same path that it's done 6 zillion times. At the end I usually end up either carrying the horse myself, or eating it to put it out of our misery. Why, why couldn't I run wild and free like the stallion inside of us that we both yearn to release?
But this time was different. Since we were going with friends that owned the horses, we could go wherever we wanted. We thought single-file was a pretty good idea.
After an amazing afternoon of beautiful scenery, fresh air, and venomous Tse Tse flies, we reluctantly headed back to the horse trailer. But before we did, we found an open field where we were able to gallop as fast as we wanted (the horses, not us). It was seriously one of the most fun things I've ever done. It makes me want to get horses one of these days - or at least a really big raccoon.

Do not degrade the Man from Snowy River!! He was such a hottie back in the day. :) So you didn't love love love the Waterton horseback days? Tsk, tsk. I thought Jen's experience of nearly being bucked off the horse was adventure enough! Besides, don't you remember? We'd hold the horses on the trail, and then we'd let them go and they galloped to catch up with the rest. You just have to be sneaky to get a real ride. :) Okay, maybe your experience was WAY better.
Totally aweseom! I love reading your posts... you guys look so happy and so perfect together. My husband and I own a few horses of our own and I like to keep it to single file line myself. Last time I ventured off from the path I got bucked off and ended up with a cracked rib...don't recommend it. :) happy times!!!
oh how funny. you guys crack me up! I am glade that you had a real experiece on a horse.

I think you guys should move up here. We've never had a Glen fam rep before! I think it's time that it happens. What do you say? Love the pics guys! You look great!
