Company Party and Horseback ride

Thursday July 31st I was able to take a girl from my company's Florida office on a horse back ride. After work Chris Taylor, Val, Aura (girl from FL) and I loaded up the horses and took off for the mountains. Aura has never been in the mountains and it has been a long time since she rode a horse, so we thought we would kill two birds with one stone and take her out for a beautiful ride. We went about 30 mins from my house up to the mountains around Heise. It was absolutely gorgeous with perfect scenery and perfect weather.

Friday August 1st my company threw a huge summertime party. They flew every one in from all of our offices across the country. Coy and myself met up with our usual gang (Robb and Kim Crockett, Val and Brandon Andrus, Joshua and Ashley McGavin, and Aaron and Natalie Bagley). We also were going to meet up with Aura and show her around the Kingston party. We had a great time. They served fantastic food and had great entertainment. Around 9:30 the gang decided to head out and go bowling. We had a great time, girls against the boys. They boys won of course and so we treated them to Cold Stone. We had a great night out with all of our friends.
