"Our December Saturday challenges for @explore_austin are always unique because we get to volunteer at a local nonprofit of our choosing. It's usually a learning experience, but this year was even more special because one of our explorers planned it at Restoration Ranch. Sharon gave us a wonderful tour and introduce us to all the horses. What magical creatures."  Giving back to your community is a magical experience, help us continue to teach explorers what it means.
