Horsin' Around

Last weekend, we visited some horses that our friends have. It was such a fun Saturday afternoon!

Sarah got to bask in the joy of the horses. She fed them hay, grain, and petted any who would let her. She even got to ride a couple of them. The only disappointment for the day for her was that the two baby horses were too scared to let her pet them!

Emma watched everything happen with wary eyes. She was in the middle of a struggle with a cold, so Emma wasn't her normal outgoing, nothing-can-stop-me self.

Andrew had a good time toddling around, dragging ropes and water hoses here and there, and keeping me busy as he tried to put everything in his mouth... including horse poop. I was able to intercept that one just in time!

"Why do donkey's ears stick up like that?"

Andrew wasn't afraid at all, but later he found ropes and hoses that were more interesting to him.

Emma was a really good sport about everything

That horse is just a LITTLE stronger than Sarah thought. I love the look on her face!

That's right... she's a true cow girl riding BARE BACK!!

Did they have any colts? Joshua has been looking for one like crazy and we haven't seen one yet.

I was thinking the same thing as Katie - did Emma get a haircut or something?

What a fun outing - especially for Sarah, first her mommy daughter date and now this - soak in the horse love oh ya

Way to go Sarah! She looks like a pro! What a fun thing to do with your kids. I always feel bad because my boys are not around animals much, we have to go to the pet store to see them!

If it's the place I'm thinking... we walked away with horse poop on our shoes! SO FUN- not the poop, but the horses!!
