This morning Scott took Thomas and Grace to the dining hall for breakfast, while Mandy and I were lazy and stayed in bed! When they came back, we all headed for the stables. Scott, Thomas and Grace went on a one hour trail ride into Rocky Mountain National Park. I took Mandy on a pony ride there at the stables. Mandy's horse's name was Strawberry and she was a little afraid at first, but the young man that worked at the stables whispered in her ear and told her to give Mandy the best pony ride ever, and after that Mandy was fine!
Thomas and Grace had the best time! It's all they could talk about for the rest of the day!! Scott enjoyed it too. 
After the horseback riding we came back to the cabin for lunch. While we were having lunch the guy came to collect the trash. They do this daily so that the bears and racoons don't get into it. Scott took what we had out to him because we had some poopy diapers that he really wanted out of the cabin and said so. Mandy just went off! She had this huge colossal fit, laid down in the floor screaming,"Bring my poopy diaper back!" She got even more irate when we all laughed hysterically and took her picture. She's definitely hit the terrible two's!
After this we went into town for a bit. As you can imagine we were very thankful when she conked out in the stroller! 
We had supper, shopped for a bit and then headed back to the cabin. 
The kids practiced their archery for a bit and then headed to the pool.
This place is really cool and we will definitately be coming back here. You really could spend your entire stay here at the YMCA and never leave the property there is so much to do! I had three of the dirtiest kids you've ever seen today. In fact, when Mandy had her huge fit, she had mud streaks down her face from her tears! But, that's what so awesome about this place....kids get to play hard, ride horses, dig in the dirt, fish, hike and be as dirty as they want! They were all asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow tonight.
