Horseback Ride

Recently, the kids and I had the opportunity to check out a "Western Town" and visit a horse stable nearby.  The western town is on a private property located way out in Maineville on a gorgeous wooded property.  The owner loves to build things.  Lots of things.  She, yes SHE, built this entire town by herself over the course of a few years.  Frankly, it's pretty incredible.  In the first picture here, you can see the Jail, General Store and Saloon behind us. We are sitting in the center of the "town" at the fire-pit.

Here are the kids "shopping" inside the general store.  

This here is the Livery.

And of course you have to have a Church.

This is inside the church!

There was also a teepee, cemetery and Railroad Station.  The Western Town was so neat and I hope to get a chance to take the kids back again for them to run around and play.

Our next stop was the horse stables and the kids favorite part of the trip.  I'm not exactly sure how many horses we saw, but it was a lot.  Just in this area alone there were probably a good 15 or so.  Can you make out little Fia there walking through?  

Madeline was even able to ride on a horse named Joy.  She absolutely loved it!  Fia had the opportunity as well, but she was too scared.

It was a fantastic trip and we went home with a souvenir.
