Day 39 - Fun At The KOA

Fun on the Lake!

We got up about 9:00 (I of course was awake at 6:30) and had breakfast. I went to sign us up for a trail ride - the earliest available was at 2:00 PM so we had the whole day to play. The teens went to the morning activity - punch/stamping a leather bracelet each. After that they went canoeing on the lake while Dale and I went for a swim.

Dillon Canoeing 

Dillon joined us shortly after while Kasey went for a nap. We had a wonderful lunch of stir fry Broccoli & SPAM over Kraft Dinner - It was actually quite delicious! At 1:30 we had to report to the stables so off we went.

Roy Rogers & Dale Evans? Lone Ranger & Tonto? Hoss & Little Joe?
Nope - just Kay & Dale!

Dillon & Torch

Kasey & Tigger

We had a great trail ride on Tigger (Kasey), Torch (Dillon), Concho (Dale) and Chain-saw (Me) for about an hour and fifteen minutes. We looped through a scenic forest with Elkhorn Mountain just above us - it was cool under the trees on this very hot, sunny day (FINALLY!!!).

When we got back - achy and very hot and sweaty, Dillon went boating again, Kasey had another nap and Dale & I did something we haven’t done for ages. We went over to the onsite PUB and had “Happy Hour” - $2.00 beers and 1/2 price appetizers from 3:00 to 5:00 PM everyday! We shared an order of onion rings that were way more than we could eat so we took 1/2 of them back for the teens to finish. I then had a nap while Dale went for a swim and the teens did I don’t know what. (I’m a great Mom aren’t I?) They actually came in every few minutes because the screen door would slam so I knew they were OK but WHY can’t they close the door quietly?!?!

By the time I got up at 6:30 PM it was almost time for WINE TASTING again so I quickly threw a roast pork and potatoes into the convection oven, grabbed some dirty laundry to throw into the laundromat next door to the Winery and off Dale and I went. On the way back I threw the clothes into the dryer, quickly made a salad and we had dinner - a perfectly cooked Pork Tenderloin, roast potatoes and salad (I’m a great Mom/Cook aren’t I?). I went back and folded the clothes at the laundromat, Dale went for wood and got a fire started, and the teens did the dishes. We chatted around the campfire until 10:00 PM (11:00 central time lol) and then off to bed. I quickly blogged this because we’re on the road again in the morning and I don’t know when we’ll have WiFi again.
