Rewind about 6 months ago... We were reading a book about Colorado that UJ & AC sent the kids for Christmas. In the book it talked about a donkey and that's what Hunter took away. On Christmas night sitting at Mom Mom and Pa's, Hunter said "I can't wait to see the donkey in Avacado!!" We all started laughing hysterically and Hunter wasn't sure why. Anyway, all he could talk about the past 6 months was seeing a donkey. Luckily, a friend of UJ & AC worked on a ranch just south of Estes Park that had a donkey and we were going to get to show Hunter.
So Tuesday morning we backed the RV out of their house and we were headed into the mountains. Thanks for letting us plug into your house Jim & Cindy!!!
We left Johnstown and all headed towards Estes Park. Our first stop was...
Chris used to go here every time he came to visit so we had to check it out. The kids liked repeating the name of the store, oops!!
Our next stop was Sylvan Dale Range to see Clint the donkey. It couldn't have worked out better. Barb took us to see Clint and he was very happy he got some visitors. When we asked to see Clint, the wrangler said, "why?" We had to explain Hunter's story to them and they thought it was pretty funny.
Clint even talked to us when we walked away! The wranglers thought the kids were pretty cute so they brought out 2 horses for them to ride. We hit a home run at the ranch. They were thrilled that they got to ride a horse and absolutely loved it.
The kids are now wanting to ride horses all the time. Matt called his friend Jenny who has horses and told her we'd be coming for a visit. :)
