This weekend I got a chance to have a lot of firsts on the ranch. On Saturday I went with Emily and Shanna to feed the baby calves. When we went up to collect the milk in the bottles for the babies they were milking the cows and they let me have a try at it. It was my first time ever and it was exciting for me because I have never been that close to a cow before this summer, much less milked a cow. It was fun, and it wasn’t too hard after you got the aiming thing down, but it was a bit of an arm workout. After getting to feed the baby calves we decided to go for a horse ride and then a picnic up to a place on the ranch called Pride Rock. The horse ride was a lot of fun because we got to take the river trail and certain parts of the trail that we rode through seemed like something straight from an old western movie. After our horse ride, we got to have our lunch up on Pride Rock. The view from it is stunning; it’s so high up that you can see almost the entire ranch. I wanted to take a picture of it of course, but because I couldn’t seem to capture the whole view in one picture, so I just didn’t take one at all. And after our rejuvenating lunch, we all took a nice refreshing walk back in the rain to wind down another adventurous day on the ranch.
