((**Alisal Ranch!! *25 PICS**))

As most of you know, I just got back from Alisal Ranch in Solvang yesterday! We had a blast there. Sorry these aren't all the pics, but I didn't have time to upload them all so I just did my favorites. ;) It was SO green there!

Before we got to Alisal, we stopped at "Quicksilver Ranch", A miniature horse farm! I can't wait until we get a mini!

A mommy and her baby... Although you can't see it in the picture, the foal was SO small!

One morning, we went on something called a "breakfast ride"... we ride the horses up to this adobe place and have breakfast, and then ride back. :) Here are the horses tied up...

lol, that's what my dad hates about it. :p
it was also partially because of the zoom and partially because it was so sunny. ^_~
