The first mishap was our trailer tires blowing out on I-84. We still don't know if I picked up something on the road or if the tires were defective or ... ?? Anyway, to make a long story short, we hung out at a rest stop in Bridal Veil, OR, until an after-hours service crew could come out and put on new tires. It was pretty stressful to wait with two horses, one baby, and a dog. Luckily all four behaved themselves and waited patiently with us. Two hours and four hundred dollars later we were on our way....
Once we got to Hood River Nanny Tanny took over the care of Lilah. I don't think I changed one diaper from Friday to Sunday. What a record! I even got to sleep in both mornings! Thank you TANIA!!
Nanny Tanny also got Lilah her own chair for sitting outside with the rest of us. She loves it! Check out the video of her playing with it at the very end of this blog.
Loading up the horses....

Our faithful steeds "Sweet P" and "Kate"
We hit beautiful trails both days. Kate (a young green horse) did her very first water crossing. I am not going to tell you how we got her over the water crossing the first time, but there was a tree branch involved. The rest of the water crossings she jumped with room to spare. There is plenty of great country up there I still want to explore so hopefully we'll do another weekend trip before the Summer is out.
Scenes from the trail....
Are we forgetting something? Or somebody? At the very top of Lost Lake Butte. I think the horses look tired....
Snow on the trail. And it was late July!
Lookout Kate! It's a VERY SCARY water crossing!

AWWW! The video of Lilah is adorable!!! How cute she is getting! Looks like you had a great time, as for the water crossings with Kate, sometimes these horses just need a little "motivation".... so to speak...!
