Blackhawk and horseback riding

During our vacation in Utah, my family did a camping trip up at one of our favorite spots - Blackhawk campground. Dad brought up the horses and we had a great ride that evening. The mountains up there are gorgeous - the views breathtaking. I remember wishing I could remember every detail of the moment - it was so beautiful and peaceful. We stopped in an alpine meadow and let the horses graze on the tall, waving grass... it was amazing. How great is it that my parents and brother love horses?! It gives us such a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Later that night after dinner we had a campfire and a dutch oven dessert. Nyah got tucked into bed in the horse trailer but Gabe got to stay up super late and enjoy the fire and the starry sky! We didn't sleep over this time but some day it will be fun to do the real thing!

On the way back we came across Eric and kids. He had opted to take them on a "hike" instead of riding. What a dad!!Mom took Gabe out "riding" often... Gabe loves the horses!! You can tell from that big "cheese" grin at the bottom- haha!
