Our long term winter stay in Arizona is coming to an end. On Monday, we pack up and move on to the Ride Out Ranch in Florence...from now until next winter we will be doing the same pace of staying four to ten days at a place before we move on.
One of the reasons we picked Arizona to winter is that Ari has family living in the area. We reminded them that we would be moving on Monday, so they took the opportunity to visit one more time.
Jaydon, our great nephew, actually managed to cram in TWO visits before we left because he has fallen in love with Mercy and wanted to ride on the local trails. He has grown into a wonderful young man and he has the makings of a real cowboy. He told his mom he may have to get a horse once he is done with college and settled down.
Our other niece also visited with her four kids. The older two each got a riding lesson on Mercy.
This is the baby - five month old Jeremiah - taking a nap in our bed inside the trailer. He is out for the count.
This is David James, age 15, getting his riding lesson.
Here's Althea, age 13, getting her riding lesson - she's a natural.
Althea also got to drive Joel's ATV - with Joel behind her to make sure she stayed safe. What a great adventure!
It's been really nice getting to spend time with our nieces and see Ari's sister.
Here is Joel helping with Lennox while he gets his manicure.
The horses got their manicures this morning before Nicole's visit. Both horses enjoyed their spa day.
Tomorrow our stock trailer gets picked up so it can be towed back to California.
