Horseback riding in the Highlands

Jessie looking a bit nervos.

The gang.

In Inverness Rob, Daryl (Jessie Dee), Mark, and Jed all went horseback riding up in the Highlands. They all had a splendid time and took lots of good scenery pictures. Rob was afraid it would be a pitiful trail ride with rest home-type horses, but he was pleasantly surprised. They did quite a bit of rough terrain and Jessie was even a bit nervous when riding occassionally because of it all. They all came home in one piece after a 3 hour tour and none worse for the wear. Mom, Dad, and Cala stayed home to watch Sarah and I and Carol went to Aiden's (Pete's 10 year old son) school and did a wee talk on Kansas. The last time they were over they all came and talked with my students about Scotland, so I tried to return the favor. Hope I did my country proud. There were pretty normal questions..."Have you ever been in a tornado? Where would you go? Does everyone have a basement? How long does it take to get to an ocean? What's the temperature? What kind of animals/bugs do we have? Why do movies come out 6 weeks later over here and what movies are out back home that they can expect in 6 weeks?" I think they were all suitably impressed with Kansas and might have some new travelers in 10 years.
