Arkansas day 4

The ranch did a great job of switching up activities to allow the boys to do activities that they didn't want to miss. So, we went to the east side of the canyon for some extreme activities. We were not the only families leaving early, so three families went to the east side. Everyone is geared up and ready to go!

Now that's a zip line!

View from the east side!

My boys getting a climbing lesson. 

The guide took some pics too!

Across the gap! So brave!

The whole gang. We made some great friends!

Cliff jumping.

Lastly the zip line!

Noah spent the afternoon climbing, Eli and Lucas went for a horse back ride. I got to do laundry! And take a nap in the lodge😉! On our final evening we did a twilight ride on the horses and then played in the barn loft. We had just a great time. We all give Horse Shoe Canyon Ranch 5 stars!

Arkansas Day 3

We started our morning with a ride. Wonder which horse we will get?

Eli on Red bull.

Noah on Hondo.

I asked for one pic of the three of them, so this is what I got. My handsome boys!!!

Before lunch, we threw some tomahawks.

Archery

We did some rifel shooting too! The boys took their turn shooting the guns while I was doing archery. 😢 They said they were good shots. 

After lunch was another horseback ride. Here is Lucas on Waldorf.

Taking pics while riding is trickery than one would think. But away we go.

Beautiful part of the country. 

Before dinner, Noah got in some rock climbing. 

I think he has found a new hobby.

After dinner, games in the barn loft.

Noah set the crate stacking bar high! He is on 15 crates before falling.

Lucas just wanted to play ball.

Noah really loved rock climbing.

Eli gave the crates a try. Eli was trying for 15 when he fell.

Noah showing his brothers a few things. 

The kids definitely enjoyed the first full day on the ranch. They are already talking about a return trip. If I could recreate the barn loft at my house- I think my kids would be in heaven. It has been a great day here!

Arkansas day 2

Today we traveled to Jasper and stopped  to do some spelunking. I would a neat cavern sort of on the way. I have always loved going to caves. Here are some pics. 

A little fury friend. This bat is so tiny, about 2 inches. Kinda cool and kinda creepy. 

Eli really like the cave bacon below.

This formation is very rare. 

After our tour, we headed to the ranch. The boys wanted to go exploring immediately. 

The found some huge boulders to climb.

I am so glad they figured out how to get down.

Eli caught a deer. 

I want to come back when all trees have foliage.

They are bound and determined to ride the zip line. 

The boys pushed all their beds together to make a ginormous bed.

I am sure they will be worn out after all this! More to come!
