Girls Weekend

Girls Weekend!  Amanda and Bonnie came for a weekend visit.  It's been a long time since the three of us have done a girls weekend so we were sure to make the most of it.  Eric graciously held down the fort and entertained Alli and Penny (and Mike did the same in North Carolina for Amanda's three kids).  I gave the girls a tour of Saratoga Springs, we ventured out for a horseback ride in the Adirondacks, walked down to the lake in our neighborhood, shopped around town, enjoyed a tapas dinner and drinks, and sampled the various mineral springs in Congress Park.  Mostly we had lots of time to catch up on the latest happenings in each others lives.  We enjoyed one last dinner on the way to the airport and then I had to return them to their families.

Amanda made Alli a super hero cape (her boys had a super hero party and she sewed capes as the favor)

Giddy-up Amanda!  The guide gave us a mini-lesson in the ring at the end of the trail ride.
