As I got on the plane, excitement washed over me. I was going to Sheridan, Wyoming to a dude ranch where my family and I would ride horses all week. I kept praying to God that I would get a horse that I would love and would love me. When the plane landed, I just couldn't contain myself. Wyoming was such a beautiful place and I haven't even seen the whole state. We had a car for us that would take us to Eaton Ranch, the ranch we were going to. It was a 2 hour car ride, but it didn't bother me. There were so many things to look at from the window to get your mind off the car ride. When we got there, I breathed in the fresh air and said, "Finally, I'm here."

We were then escorted into the office, where we checked in and got our cabins. We reserved cabins all next to each other. My family and I had a cabin called Sanders, which was right next to my grandparents. My aunt, uncle,and cousins cabin was the next one after my grandparents. We all started to unpack when we heard a loud bell ringing. "What is that?" my sister and I asked. My mom responded, "That's the dinner bell. They will ring that bell when it's time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner." We were out the door to catch up with the rest of the family. As we walked in to the dining hall, we were overcome by the smell of chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and biscuits.

After dinner, we all head back to our cabins to get ready for bed. We got into our PJ's and got in bed. My sister and I realized that there was one thing we could not live without that wasn't in the room: a TV. "Great," I said to Bella," How are we supposed to watch something now?" "I know! I brought my iPad and it has all kinds of movies!" Bella exclaimed. We got out the iPad and started to watch our favorite movie: //Grease.// After 30 minutes of the movie, Bella and I drifted off to sleep.

"Emily! Wake up! It's time to go! Em!" I woke up to Bella jumping on the bed telling me to get dressed. I searched my suitcase for the perfect outfit to go riding in. I got myself dressed and right after I put my boots, the breakfast bell started to ring. We woke our mom up and told her to get dressed. We arrived at the dinner hall to see that everyone else was there. Our waiter then came with our drinks and took our orders. After a huge breakfast, we headed over to the stables to get fitted for our saddles and to get a horse. Each of us had to fill out a chart on: Have you ridden a horse before? If so how long? What kind of rider are you? After filling out the sheets, we were then fitted for saddles. We were then asked to hand our forms to the wranglers.

"Emily Edbrooke," the wrangler with a raspy voice said, " is going to get Vegas." All of the sudden a flashy paint came out of the corral and was very spirited. He was tacked up and ready to go in a blink of an eye. I was asked to go and get in the saddle. After everyone was on, our trail guide came out on a little cookies and creme colored pony. "Hi guys! My name is Maria and I will be your trail guide for all week! Now let me get to know all of your names" Maria said. We all gave our names and started to get on the trail called The Indian Rocks Trail.

Throughout the whole week, we had tried a new trail everyday. The saddest day was when we had to leave. It was a long drive to the airport and a gloomy one. My cousins and sister in the back made rap videos the whole way to the Sheridan County Airport. Before we knew it we were on the airplane back home. I just kept thinking, //Wow, this whole week went by so fast even though it felt like forever. I just can't wait to come back for next year.//
