This is the story of an Adventure of a Lifetime :)
It all started with a once-in-a-life time offer from some amazing people with some amazing connections, and then it just snowballed from there.
We went out to one of the most beautiful places EVER - it all felt so surreal! The whole day we all kept singing "Paradise" by Coldplay (or the Jon Schmidt/Alex Boye version), and Paradise is definitely one of the best ways to describe it.
I would definitely say that it was one of the BEST days of my life!
To start of this incredible adventure, we went horseback riding!
This was my Missouri Foxtrotter, Tinkerbell.
She was kinda funny...she would go super fast and then all of a sudden she would go really slow until she decided we were far enough behind the group, and then all of a sudden she'd go fast so we could catch up! All of my "go Tink!"s did not make her budge at all, no matter what my tone was.
Learning how it's done...
Chelsea and Maya, Angi and Boston
Ryan, Lincoln
Clayton, Ashley and Ethan
Happy Trails!
Right after this picture, we went out into the fields on the left, spread out, and let the horses gallop.
It was so amazing! We all felt like we were in some classic western movie or something - the only thing missing was the sunset :)
Despite Lincoln's best efforts, we couldn't get our horses to all line up neatly - at least we were all relatively clumped close to each other!
4-Wheelers! Probably one of my very favorite parts - we got them going pretty crazy!
We had the girls drive first on the easier trails, and looking back on it, we were pretty timid :)
As soon as the boys got in control we went lots faster, spinning out all over the place - it was so much fun! As we went along I definitely got a lot braver and my speeds got higher.
The colors were so incredible - it looked like someone had dropped gold coins all over the ground.
Rappelling! I think almost all of us got at least a little bit freaked out when we first walked over that edge! There was definitely some positive peer pressure involved with this :)
My Momma! She was one of the stars of the day - she kept everything going smoothly.
Also, a HUGE shout-out to Andrew, Dustin, and Jessica.
Thanks for taking us all over the place, helping us out, and making us some DE-licious food :)
You guys are the best!
Dinner on the back patio...such an incredible view.
We had the sun going down over the mountain, a little creek running just behind/below us, and brilliant fall colors all around us.
Some of the best friends anyone could ask for :)
Thanks for making it one of the best days EVER!!!
