Last Day in Texas

Yesterday morning, Ann, Vicki and I put on our boots and hats and headed down into the canyon for some trail riding!

Getting saddled up!




Here we are. Vicki insisted on being Dale Evans, so I guess that makes Ann, Annie Oakley and me, Calamity Jane. hahaha!!!



Our horses behaved fairly well. Ann's acted up a bit and tried to buck, but she stayed on. Mine was a bit spirited and liked to trot when it got the chance and Vicki's behaved perfectly. Just like her, as she would say ;) lol We had a grand time as always and got out of the canyon before it got too hot.




Last evening, we went back down into the canyon for a fabulous steak dinner catered by the famous Big Texan Steak house. I had another whole tray full of delicious food!




Following dinner, there was a live country band playing and lots of folks dancing and having a high old time while we waited to see the outdoor musical "TEXAS" in the ampitheater.




Here's a few of our own out there doin the Cotton-eyed Joe. Peggy, Linda and Karen in the center.




The musical was just an amazing two hour entertaining history lesson full of live effects of singing, dancing, horses, stage coaches, trains, fire and fireworks against the back drop of the canyon. It brought to life the stories, struggles and triumphs of the settlers of the Texas Panhandle in the 1800s. If you ever get to Palo Duro, I'd highly recommend seeing it. No photos were allowed in the ampitheater, so I couldn't get any pictures.

This morning we had our hitch-up breakfast. Yes, we eat a lot! And it's all good, every bite. lol :) It takes a lot of effort to plan such a fun-filled rally. Thanks again to our hostesses, Pat and Miriam for such an awesome time!

Following breakfast, we all got our hugs and said our cya laters and headed off down our own paths. For us, it's off to Colorado!
