What I Did on My Summer Vacation: July 14--Horse Riding (Mainly Pictures)

Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]July 14 was taken up by mostly relaxing for the first half of the day. Denisa was still recuperating from her sun exposure the day before, and I was happily enduring a head cold, so we slept quite a bit that morning. In the afternoon and evening, we went to visit a horse ranch owned by one of Denisa's high school friends. Had some great grilled sausages, and the kids and Denisa all rode a horse (which they really enjoyed).

(I didn't ride the horse. I've ridden one many times, and riding a horse in a circle doesn't quite excite me as much as it might have at one time in my life.)

*Extra credit to you if you can come up with the link between the pic for this post and the topic.

TRC and DC say hi to the horse:
Forget the Pied Piper. Any time you want to attract a young boy, just find a big pile o' dirt. TRC ran up and down this hill more times than I can count.
TRC, very proud of his horse riding abilities:
DC, a bit more tentative:
The inside of the restaurant at the ranch:
A traditional Slovak dress: (I'm trying to convince Denisa that she really needs to own one of these. She says it would look silly. Come on, people--help me convince her!)

That dress is beautiful. (And "space cowboy" is the only link I can make to Firefly, but it seems tenuous.)

Two things:

1. Did you ask if those were horse sausages?

2. I hope that "mound of dirt" wasn't actually created by a mound of something else from the horses.

Otherwise, looks like a really fun day!

Kjerste--Exactly. Denisa really needs one. And look for another clue about the connection to the pick in today's post.

Dad--No horses were harmed in the making of those sausages. And none were involved in the making of the hill. :-)
