On that last very long post I forgot to tell you guys abour our day going to a ranch!!! Someone within the United Way community owns a ranch about 45 minutes outside of Wichita Falls and invited us to go out to visit. When we got there we were able to take turns riding some horses around a little corral for a while. It was fun because I haven't riden a horse in a veryyyy long time and forgot how fun and exciting it is!! After that we played some horseshoes, then one of the cowboys that work there took us on a little hayride out onto the property and cows starting crowding around us because we were on their food truck!! So they started yelling at us and came up and grabbed hay off the truck. After that we headed down to another part of the property (these people own quite a lot of property) and we shot some shotguns. I always get nervous when I hold guns and especially when I shoot them. Then it scares me as to how good of a feeling it is to shoot a gun!!...anyway, after that our supervisors from United Way took us out to eat at a yummy mexican restaurant (I have eaten SO much mexican and BBQ while I've been here in Texas!) I had a delicious quesedilla! But I forgot to add that into our exciting filled week a week or so ago!

We're all busy packing and cleaning today. We have to completely clean out this house of everything that exsists in here! It's like we're moving out of a houst but aren't taking anything except our personal belongings! We are heading out early tomorrow morning and we are going to stop at Palo Duro which is apparently the 2nd largest canyon next to the Grand Canyon. We were going to spend the night in some cabins there, but things got too complicated and we are just going to drive an hour more after to Amarillo to stay in a hotel. At Palo Duro we hope to be able to take a horseback riding tour, if not we'll just take some time hiking the canyon and see what it's all about! and Saturday we should arrive back in Denver and spend a week there debriefing and briefing!
That's all for now!! :)
