In today’s economy people are always looking for ways to save money. People also want to take their family on trips and engage in fun activities together. More people are looking for cost effective trips that can still be enjoyable and exciting. Some people may not realize that cost efficient family fun is right outside their door. Enjoying the great outdoors should be a part of life, and it is simple but pleasurable enough to keep the family happy.

With society being full of technology it is hard to imagine interacting with life without cell phones, computers, or any other high tech gadget that most people use on a daily basis to get by. A few ideas to enjoy time with the family would be getting together for a simple ride through the country. If you pack a lunch then you can make a stop at a park picnic table and eat outdoors. Small activities like this will bring the family closer.

My husband had just sold a guitar to a girl who lived on a horse farm in Kentucky, She saw our children and asked if they would like to go see the horses.
She also informed is that they had some smaller ponies that were well-broken in for the children to ride.

So we asked the children, knowing full well their response, If they would like to go see and maybe ride some horses. They definitely did, and so plans were made. I cannot remember the names, but we were even given names for the horses we would soon meet. But, luck would have it that somehow we never visited the farm. To this day I do not know what happened, but I was relieved, as I figured that I would have to explain the Donkey rides to the girls.

When my daughters had aged sufficiently, I decided to take them for a ride on ponies at a place I had seen advertised in the newspaper. The girls were extremely excited, to say the least, That the day long promised had arrived.
We got there and sadly I only saw Donkeys, but the girls ran quickly and wanted to ride. I simply did not have the heart to tell them the difference, so they rode. Then I spied a circle of ponies, but saw a long line waiting, too, whereas my daughters had the freedom to the donkey’s all to themselves. They rode around and around, enjoying their day alot.
We drove home and I was silent wondering wether I ought to explain the subtle differences between ponies And donkeys before they played with their my little pony dolls. but I decided that
It wasn’t necessary and for all I know they think ponies all have items stamped on their butt, magnets in their hoofs, and designer colors.
Now just to decide if I ought to tell the truth to my husband.

The last time I went horse back riding, I was asked if I had experience riding. Little did I know, this was because we were going to be given horses to break in. Though we each had a wild horse to ride, one of the horses broke free entirely and ran free.

Brennan, a neighbor, offered to go after the horse that literally ran free and headed for the hills. I joined everyone in commenting that the horse had no saddle, but he went forward anyway and caught the horse home without a saddle. He rode bareback on a wild horse, which to me was a real accomplishment.
From that experience forward, I was able to decide that I was not a Hardcore horse rider, And danger can come at anytime if you allow it. Who would’ve thought that simply telling that you had experience would lead to that situation. a horse could’ve been lost.
