I decided to take my sisters out on the trail for their birthdays. They are both Leos (their…read moreastrological sign) and enjoy adventurous activities. I've been aware of Koteewi Park and the many activities that they offer for several years and finally decided to give them a try. I arrived 15 minutes prior to our scheduled ride time and my sisters had already been there waiting for about 20 minutes or so. I'd booked this ride several weeks prior. When we went inside to check in, we waited several minutes before being greeted by a woman just coming back into the desk. She advised us that the previous group left late due to some uncooperative horses, and that we'd have to wait for them to return, approximately 35-40 minutes. We'd be riding those same horses and began praying that they'd be more cooperative with us. We entertained ourselves for the next 45 minutes and once the horses returned, we went inside for our safety briefing and instruction tutorial. We were shown how to hold the reigns (which was different from what I'd learned previously) and how to steer and bring the horses to a stop. Afterwards, we were taken out to mount up. We got mounted and adjusted and took a few practice loops around the corral before being taken onto the trail. I rode Happy, aka "The Goodest Boy!" I was told by the woman who checked us in that he was the horse she rides when she goes out on the trail. He doesn't like to lead but follows whether you want him to or not. If one horse stopped, he stopped. If I told him to stop (using the reigns of course), but the other horses were going...we went too. My middle sister rode Vanner, who I've donned "The Uncooperative Rebel". He stopped several times for snacks along the trail even when he knows he's not supposed to. Sis couldn't contain his wild, unfettered spirit. The youngest sister rode Willow aka "Priss Miss". I think she was a show horse at one point. She had a very proper and sophisticated gait and required braces for two of her ankles. Our guides, we had two for just the three of us, were very nice and kept us safe. We exchanged stories and shared laughs during our 1-hour trail ride. I chose the lake trail for the views and was a bit disappointed that there weren't many. We got a peek at the lake twice, briefly, but the wildflower fields of local flora and fauna created a truly magical setting. At one point, we were all surrounded by butterflies landing on us and the horses! It was fun, but it was hot. In the future, if we return during the Summer, it will either be for one of the morning or sunset trail rides.

We decided to go horseback riding to celebrate my birthday. My children (10 & 12) have never been…read morehorseback riding before and, though nervous, were excited to experience it. I rode quite a bit many years ago. I had a service expectation in my mind for how things would go and unfortunately the team at this ranch did not deliver. On arrival, parking was not clearly marked (broken signs and no arrows to direct you). Once out of the car, there was no one to greet us or give next steps. We were told by visitors already waiting to step inside the barn to sign a waiver. Once inside, the staff member who wondered out of the dark handed the waiver to me and explained it. Yet she never said hello or introduced herself. It all felt very transactional or as if we weren't welcomed. I can only assume how many trail rides are provided in a day or week but the experience is still special to visitors. I would like to think they still remember this. My children were assigned horses (Cherokee and Widow) and given basic riding instructions from other staff members (they stated afterward the women providing them were not very warm). I was given a horse named Stitch that I did not enjoy or recommend to anyone who has never ridden before. He was headstrong and unfriendly. I can say: The 60 minute ride through the wooded trails was beautiful and very quiet. Our group totaled six so I guess I assumed there would be conversation from the trail lead but there was none. No water was provided or information about the land we were on. I was grateful for the instructor stopping before bigger hills to describe what was ahead and how to best handle it, it helped my kiddos, but I can't say as I would come to this place again. The horses looked thin and tired. Not to mention the barn bathroom was exactly what you'd expect: dusty dirty and rusty. Perhaps our expectations were too high? One big plus: the friendliness of my children's horses and the barn cats.

I am not a fan of almonds but their slices seemed glazed and amazing. Also, I was surprised about the raw asparagus which was very green and fresh for this time of fall. I tried the basil vinaigrette but eventually gave it to my guest for her entrée; I gave her my radish slices, too. I tried two-fruit flavored water but it was not what I preferred. Large portion for $10.99 so reasonably priced. The restaurant was bigger than I could see. Definitely, I will return and check it out more. One day, I may try another entrée but that salmon salad is on the top of my radar. Only downside is that the restroom is outside the restaurant down the hall. However, it is a beautiful, large, and clean restroom.

The food is super fresh. The Thai Noodle salad was delicious, crisp, tangy, filling.... I wonder how they get the perfect avocados on all the orders? What would give it the 5th star? I'm getting old.... my eyes are getting weak. I would love a printed menu to view. Also, would be great for some more detail. Some of their entrees are spicy that you wouldn't think like biscuits and gravy. The chorizo really gives it an extra kick. (I liked it!) but the hubs who ordered it, is spicy adverse and did not really get to enjoy his meal. Also they don't scramble eggs in the traditional sense.. they come out flat which was odd. I enjoyed it and will be back when in the mood for fresh, healthy goods!

My husband's four year old grandson played right alongside everyone and loved every minute. We ordered Pretzel Bites and Fiesta Nachos with Steak. The steak was tender and flavorful. We also grabbed a Grilled Cheese from the kids menu for the little one. The staff kept their energy up all night. Someone stopped by our bay often to check if we needed anything, so we never waited long for refills or extra food. As the night went on, more groups showed up and the whole place filled with a fun buzz. We ran into one hiccup with our bill, but the staff sorted it out quickly. We left happy. Looking forward to our next trip back.

Who says Topgolf isn't for little kids?! Most people assume…read moreit's not toddler-friendly, but I'd disagree! My 3-year-old LOVES Topgolf, and we've been going as a family since he was 1. A few tips if you're thinking about taking your little ones: Choose the first floor if you're nervous--there's no drop-off, which makes it feel much more toddler-friendly. The top level has a small patio with yard games if your kids need a break from golfing. I always recommend reserving a bay with a couch instead of the high-top seating. It gives my kids a comfy place to sit, relax, or even sneak in a nap if needed. As soon as we sit down, I order a side of fries. It keeps little hands busy while we wait for the rest of our food. They have junior clubs (including left-handed clubs!) available if you ask. They're still a bit too big for my toddler, so we usually bring his own clubs. It's become such a fun way to practice waiting our turn, following directions, good sportsmanship, and even counting how many balls are left before it's the next person's turn. If you can, go on a weekday during half-price hours to make it a much more budget-friendly family outing! Have you taken your kids to Topgolf yet?

Simply amazing first experience!! Now let's talk about the food. Presentation was great. We had a variety of orders from steak to seafood and everything came out as ordered. There was plenty of good between the soup/salad side and the meal. Everyone was really happy with their dinners. Now let's talk about the dessert! OMG. Since there were 2 of us they were kind enough to offer 2 options so we chose one of each (cookie & ice cream/white mousse with berries) and our waiter Nick even surprised us with a 3rd option of the butter cake which was his favorite option!

The market has a fun selection of local goods, and the whole space feels thoughtfully designed. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The breakfast sandwich came from a warmer, and the croissant had become soft and mushy. The egg was a firm, precooked square, and the bacon was limp. The pepper jam was delicious and easily the best part, but it could not make up for the lack of texture in the rest of the sandwich. The chocolate croissant looked beautiful and had plenty of visible layers, but it was surprisingly dense and breadlike rather than light and flaky. Our cold brew and matcha were both good, although the matcha did not have much flavor despite being freshly whisked. Service was also slow and strangely disengaged, which made ordering feel more awkward than it needed to be. There is a lot to like about the atmosphere and idea behind Borage, but the execution during this visit did not live up to the presentation. Definitely going to have to try a sit down brunch next time.
