When you have seen enough of the pools here at the Cibola Vista Resort, you head on over to the corral.
Just a short jaunt across a 2-lane road, and you are at the Cibola Vista Dude Ranch. Still within view of our hotel room balcony, we felt a world away. The dust stuck to our flip-flops. The smell permeated our noses. The blistering sun beat down on our stetsons (or rather, Brett's baseball cap). Our crew came in close contact with these beautiful horses...as close as possible without having to pay for our 9 children to go on the horseback-riding tour.
The horses were a huge hit! No fear. Even Layne was reaching out to pet the horsies. R, who grew up with animals...in a place called Rice, Washington, warned the kids that horses may kick and bite. Still no fear. But, there was some biting. Black Beauty took a bite of the drawstring on Landen's board shorts. We all laughed as Dad wrestled with the horse to save Landen and his shorts from becoming a morning snack!
We brushed off the dirt, and headed back to the pool. Nothing like a morning at the hot, dusty corral to make you appreciate the pool with waterslide.
