Fort Robinson is a former U.S. Army fort and a present-day state park. Every year we drive to Ft. Robinson to enjoy the buffalo burgers, see a play at the Post House and to ride horses. A play did not work in the schedule this year, so we just ate and rode! Eleri isn’t old enough for the long ride, therefore, we do the short ride of 45 minutes. The cost of riding a horse at Ft. Robinson is $15 – can’t beat that price!

After our lunch of buffalo burgers, we went to change our shoes and get ready for our 1:00pm ride. When we left the house this morning, the girls were wearing flip flops. I grabbed tennis shoes for everyone…except I accidently grabbed my tennis shoes for Emersyn. She had no tennis shoes, just flip flops. At Grandma’s house, we all dump our shoes in the laundry room coming in from the back door. There is a pile of shoes with all of us there. Lucky for us, Terri is driving on to South Dakota after our day of fun to see Andy and his dad, Ray. She had her hiking boots packed for hiking the hills of South Dakota. Terri gave Emmy her tennis shoes and put on her hiking boots. Terri has a very small foot of a size 6. The shoes were just a bit large for Emmy.

The stables at Ft. Robins are the original riding stables for the army.

Emersyn was riding Bonnie on this adventure.

Eleri’s horse was named Buck. She does look small on the big horse.

Terri had Pedro, a horse we had last year.

And, I don’t remember the name of my horse.

After we finished our ride, Eleri wanted to ride the stage coach. We all climbed into the stage coach including Grandma and Grandpa. I don’t have a good photo of the ride as it was very bumpy. It cost us $10 for one ride – can’t beat that!!

To finish off our fun at Ft. Robinson, we went back to the cafe for homemade cinnamon rolls. We always enjoy the day at Ft. Robinson.
