cowboy cooking

We were so very fortunate to be invited to the Williams Homestead today. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to prepare for our cowboy cooking experience.

But nothing could have prepared me for the beautiful vistas and spectacular skies. No wonder those cowboys were so happy to be out on the range.

 

 

 

 

 

We had many modes of transportation today including Doug’s car, a golf cart, a Mule (vehicle), a horse, a cart and pony, and, our own two feet.

 

We took a scenic adventure out to the pastures to pick up Zipper. Several of the other horses were very interested in what was in the back of our vehicle…but not Zipper, of course.

Then it was off to the tack room.

 

Courtney takes a moment, remembering the things she has been learning about horses and riding back in North Carolina.

  These girls were a great pair. Actually, we realized that all four of us were  eldest daughters. Campbell said that meant that all of us were good examples! I thought that was great. After our ride, a tropical rainstorm came through and the girls had fun jumping off the dirt hill and playing in the jeep sheltered nearby.

 

 

 

 

 

Soon enough it brightened back up, and we got ready for another ride. I actually drove… even with everyone aboard.  I loved it!   

The girls were busy during lunch. I was looking after the frog that Courtney stuck in a water bottle and stored in my purse when we entered the restaurant.

In any scenario this would have been a wonderful experience, but it truly was extraordinary. Danette Williams is an amazing and extremely interesting woman.

Both Courtney and I had a fabulous, really fun time!
