hawaii- march 26th

march 26th day 5 we met tim and a few of his ranch hands this morning, and went out for a fantastic ride through rolling hills on trails made of crushed lava and under rainforest canopies that often seemed surreal. molly and janet held down the fort while we were out exploring... the scenery and topography of the ranch were breathtaking... ...and kristin was thrilled with the notion that we weren't paying to go out on some "trail ride". she was able to let her horse canter several times- you can tell by her expression that we was enjoying every second of it! back at the ranch, kristin introduced molly to the horses. her love for the part of her youth spent around horses is so apparent, and she'd like nothing more than to be able to do the same for molly (in fact, i think i even heard some promises whispered).
