Fun on the farm!
After Christmas Papa invited all the grandkids to go ride horses at the farm. I was excited to go, because I have many fond memories of riding horses with my dad on the farm when I was growing up. I still remember Peaches, the horse I learned to ride on. I also remember Dad taking us to go get Thrifty ice cream after we rode, so we took the kids for Thrifty ice cream to make it a total experience. Good times!
L to R: Cannon, Ameliah, Miranda, Brooklyn and Kamron. There were lots more cousins there that I didn't get pictures of.
Here's Cannon riding Elvis, a one-eyed pony. I let the kids sit on there themselves and I led Elvis around the arena. He was waving to his cousins in this shot. He was so proud of himself. Too cute!
Here is Ameliah sitting on Marg. Marg was the biggest horse there. Ameliah kept asking to ride her, but we just stuck with Elvis is he was a lot closer to the ground. When we were done riding, I let her sit on Marg for a few minutes and that seemed to appease her. Good enough for me!
I am glad the Papa took us riding. I got to ride Queen. She wanted to "walk-out" which basically means she was super fast and would trot the entire time if I let her. I LOVED it! I hope that my kids created some of the same fond memories that I had when I was a child visiting the farm.
