Horseback Riding

So, after a month of trying to to pick a day for Lauren and I to go horseback riding we finally got to go today. We tried to pick a day in September for our birthday's, but it didn't quite work out. If I haven't said before Lauren is a good friend of mine and we have known each other since preschool. Our birthday's are 10 days apart and I am the oldest, so we always try and do something fun that we have never done before or something that we haven't done in a while. We went to a place in Burbank and it was really nice. They had a lot of horses to choose from and we were given horse based on our experience, I have has some experience but not much. I was so calm and relaxed during the ride which made my horse calm and relaxed, we made a good pair. I was surprised at how well he knew the trail and knew where to go, he would get mad every time I would try to direct him but he treated me well. The trail was so nice we went only for an hour so we didn't get to see much but it was really pretty. I am really glad we went today, it was such a nice day to go. I had such a good time and will definitely be going back, it is such a great workout I could feel my abs working and now my butt really hurts lol. I have pictures of course sorry if their blurry, but I was riding a big horse at the time. Our tour guide was also nice enough to take some pictures of us:

Disneyland 2011

Last Thursday Kimberly and I went to Disneyland and of course I was really excited to go. I wanted to go in October because I have never been there for Halloween and I wanted to see all the decorations. For a Thursday I was surprised at how many people were there, it was almost like we were there on a weekend. We didn't stay in California Adventure for very long, their were a lot of people and long waits for rides. We went on the new Little Mermaid ride, I thought it was OK but it was cute. While we were there we had to go on Toy Story Mania, it is one of my favorites and so worth the wait no matter how long the line is. It was so much fun even though I didn't win. In Disneyland we walked around going on our favorite rides ( the same rides we always go on), stopping ever now and then to rest, it was hot that day. I was really upset that Pirates of the Caribbean was closed, but I stayed strong. The Haunted Mansion looked cute decked out in the Nightmare Before Christmas decorations. All the popular rides were 35 minute wait or more so Kimberly and I got fast passes for Indiana Jones and Space Mountain, my other two favorites. Space Mountain was really cool, for Halloween they add monsters to the ride to pop out anywhere. It was really scary I always scream bloody murder. I repaid Kimberly by beating her at the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster by kicking her butt. She had no idea how it happened. We had a good time as always and when we left we were tired. Till next time Disneyland :)
