Horseback riding, then golf

Sunday morning brought pancakes made by Maggie served with wild chokecherry syrup, bacon, and eggs. Then, against the best available advice, Scott and Shane decided to go horseback riding. Thankfully, no one was hurt. See attached photo.

We visited the Marquis de Mares interpretive center and the Chateau. I almost didn't make it to the Chateau. Word has it that Scott paid Shane $2,500 to "lose me." Everyone was in the car but me (who had one leg in) when Shane put her in gear and started to roll. So there I was hopping along trying to jump into the car as Carrie yelled for him to stop. Interestingly, Scott was sitting right next to me and didn't utter a word....I think the rumor must be true.

Anyway, more cool history in Medora. The Marquise (you might recall from an earlier post that her name was Medora) is my new role model. She could do it all! Throw a fancy party, then go shoot some game.  See family photo taken on front porch of the Chateau.

We were then off to Bully Pulpit for a 2 pm tee time. Beautiful course built into and around the Badlands. A few photos attached to whet your appetite for playing this course. Sarah and Charli hit a few strokes on the front 9, then Carrie took them to the family fun park for a little swimming and play on the world's largest inflatable water slide. Maggie drive the golf cart and was my caddie.

Left for Crosby in the midst of a thunderstorm. Arrived in Crosby @ midnight without incident.
