Turks & Caicos - Day 7

We kicked off Friday bright and early with a covid test.  We all had to test negative in order to fly home the following day.  I was pretty nervous about this as Em had come down with a cough a few days before. But thank goodness we all tested negative!  We could finish out our trip with no worries at all!

Me, Courtney and all the kids had an excursion planned that morning with Provo Ponies to go horseback riding.  The boys couldn't go because they didn't have enough horses available when we booked it.  This was my favorite thing we did all trip. It was amazing!

We got paired up with our horse and it ended up being the 6 of us, plus just 1 other person in our group, so basically a private ride.  We rode through the streets for about 10-15 minutes until we made our way to the ocean.  We didn't just walk along the shore, the horses actually went all the way in. . .up to their necks.  It was so cool and the horses seemed to love it.  I've never seen a horse smile before, but so many of them had huge smiles on their faces the whole time.  We've been horseback riding several times before as a family. . in the mountains of CO and through the woods of Broken Bow, OK, but this was such a different experience to be swimming in the water.  1 of the guides took so many pictures for us on my phone. I'm so glad we were able to capture memories of this day.  It's something I know I'll never forget.




















We spent the afternoon at where else. . the waterpark!  




We went to Bayside for their dinner buffet.  I loved the atmosphere.  It overlooked the beach and was a great place to watch our last sunset in Turks.
