Riding horses






Abbey, Tyler and I took Mckaley to their friends house so that she could get a chance to look at their horses.  Not only did she get a chance to look at them, but the dad even saddled one named Bixbey up for Mckaley to ride all by herself.  She was a little hesitant at first, but then hopped right up and took a stroll around the farm.  She had a great time riding Bixbey and LOVED every second of it.  After the ride we let her run all around the ranch with the other kids, bounce on their trampoline, and after all that they even invited us to sit with them for a wonderful taco salad dinner outside.   It was so nice of them to have us over.  A night like this makes me really appreciate big families living in small places!  I just think it is so wonderful for kids to grow up in that type of environment where they get up early to do their chores (feed the chickens, take the horses out for exercise, etc) and then they get to run around outside and play all day.  I love it!

What an amazing day! I bet she is still talking about it. It is great to have friends and family around. We totally miss that!
