horse back riding!
have edited the mystic falls post to include the last 4 pics.
go see go see!
the days lunch was pizzas.
and i can assure u guys,
its no where close to pizza hut.
so since laogong got the park perks,
which was cash which we can use anywhere in the park,
we went for geyser grill.
=)

the unsightly scene of laogong munching his fries & hotdog.
LOL.

me with the fries & nuggets!
the horseriding was at a ranch in west yellowstone,
which means its west of our working place.
ok, duh...
it was an 1.5 hr or so ride out.
and this time,
air conditioning was on..
so no car sickness.
=)

thats the trailer of the ranch we went to.

the horses were huge.
to say i was not scared would have been lying.
haha.
but it wasn't that bad...
at least the horses were well trained to...
erm.
follow the leader.
haha.
when the horse in front stopped,
it stopped.
and i din even have to prompt it to move.
it just moved when the horse in front moved.
=p

me on the horse.
mine was quite a lazy horse,
either that or it was worked too hard.
coz it was so reluctant to move...
poor boy.
and my sleeves were rolled up coz the sky was big & bright above.
din wan to get an ugly tan line.
but guess what?
i did not take out my watch.
=.=
so now i have a watch tan line.
UGLY!
but at least its not obvious la.

thats how we travelled.
in one straight line.
coz the trail was all too narrow.
hehe.
anyway,
we went into the woods.
=)

don't everyone look small on the horses?

the beautiful scenary as we reached some top of a hill..
and when we looked back,
it was breathtaking!
the horses were troting/galloping,
at some point in time.
at first it was fine....
until it got me out of breath,
and clinging on for me dear life.
(ok i am exaggerating)
it was fun,
though my butt was slapping up and down on the saddle.
OUCH.
laogong told me to stand on the stirrups.
but my knee was painful.
old injuries.
so i got to tahan the butt slapping saddle throughout.
till now my butt is still pain when i sit on hard plastic chairs!!!
and i haven recovered from the bike ride to mystic falls somemore.
=x

at the end of the horse ride.
me with one of the horses.
nop,
this is not mine.
they all look alike.
i lost sight of mine once i got down from it.
haha.

laogong with the same horse.
his horse was black,
so its easily spotted,
but its surrounded by the other horses!
so he can't get to it to take a photo.

thats laogong's horse in the middle.
the big black one!
his was one of the largest horse in our group.
guess its coz he's the tallest & everything.
hehe.

we were tired and thirsty at the end of the ride.
imagine.....
3 hours of riding under the sun w/o water!
so yups,
i was gulpping them down.
hahas.
headed to west yellowstone for a short stop for dinner/shop.
its just like khatib.
nothing much really.
we had kfc for dinner before heading back home.
p.s sis ar! sorry i din expect work to end so late today!
so when i came online its alr 7 am back home.
SORRY!
