Our Own Cowboys

My mother-in-law, Jean, arranged for a horse experience for Henry and Seth. And what an experience it was!

We worked with a funny, full-of-personality four-year-old horse named Shadow. When we arrived, he came running up to the fence and checked us all out.

The owner of the farm gave us a tour, showing all of the hay that their horses eat,

the horses' stalls, the horses being trained,

and how to groom the horses.

THEN they were able to ride the horses. When they were asked who wanted to go first, Seth responded as quickly as I've ever heard him respond, "I WILL!"

Jean said that he looked like a natural, and he was so proud!

Then it was Henry's turn. He was one happy cowboy!

He looks pretty good up there too, huh?!

It was a day full of sweet memories...

and big laughs compliments of Shadow. ;) Apparently, every time his saddle is taken off, he does this...

After visiting the horse farm, we came back to my sister and brother-in-law's house to find Evan all worn out from an afternoon of play with his cousins.

We topped off the day by going back for a tasty dinner at my in-law's house. I love this picture of Evan and his Grandpa enjoying an appetizer of Cheetos :) together.

Thank you for a wonderful day, Jean, Nacibe, Mark and Denny!
