I left off with us heading down the nature trail. We really enjoyed it. Apparently I was totally turned around from where we were because I was surprised to see the Contemporary and BLT on the left.
I was hoping we'd find Fort Wilderness and the horses at the end of the trail but since this was our first time down it I had no idea how far it was. We had plenty of time before the bus would pick us up for the cruise so we just kept walking and enjoying the scenery.
I'd never seen a cardinal on the ground before so I watched this guy for a few minutes.
We only met one other family on the trail, they were coming towards us so we asked if we were going the right way for Fort Wilderness. Yes, and we weren't too far away.
Victory was in sight!
And I spotted a horse
Then some more
Then the stable
Neither of us had been to Fort Wilderness before so everything was new. I know they do carriage rides but didnt think where the horses were kept, or thought it possible we could go in and look at them. I was in Heaven!
All the horses had name plaques next to their stalls which I thought was nice.
I got a real treat when they had this one out of his stall.
They walked him right past me, it was really cool.
After we looked at each and every horse we headed outside and found more horses.
I woke this one up from a nap, not on purpose of course.
I could have sat and enjoyed the horses for quite a while longer but time was not unlimited so we headed on.
The grounds were very pretty
this squirrel looked like it was having a great time scampering around the tree
