Horsing around during the summer

Here are some really late pictures from this summer. Once a month we had a "career enhancement" day, where all of us from work went and did something fun. On this particular day we went to the Lavender Farm and rode horses, and then went to a local pond. Let me remind you, this was during the summer, and it was bloody HOT. We couldn't ride the horses for too long b/c it was so hot. Here you go...

These horses are really big. Much bigger than most horses you would ride at any other place. (my co-workers wife worked at the farm so we got to ride the big horses) See the purple lavender fields in the background?

Victoria and I had to go get our horses and put the bridals on. We were extremely nervous b/c neither of us had ever done it. They just said, "go get your horses". It was one of the coolest moments of my life. We were laughing the whole time.

Here we are after we got our horses. These were 2 regular sized horses. I was switched to one of the bigger ones later one. (They needed the small ones for the shorter people)
