On Horseback

Yesterday the kids got to ride a horse for the first time. My friend Christie invited us over for the kids to ride. Rachel was so, so, so excited!!! She got to be first! Christie gave the kids a few basic instructions and commands and turned them loose. I was a little nervous, but the horse was so gentle, and the kids did great!!



Luke said he was not going to ride on the way over, but as soon as he got out of the car he wanted a turn.


Kate has always loved horses. She has always been a little scared to pet them, so I did not know if she would ride. She jumped on without hesitation.



All of the kids were naturals on horseback. Rachel now wants a horse of her very own. Too bad our HOA says no way!!!

Christie also has chickens. The kids rushed over when these chicks arrived and got to hold them. Now they are chickens and laying eggs. Luke swears they are the best eggs ever. My kids will eat a dozen of Christie's eggs at one sitting. A dozen total not each.
