We took a trip to the country yesterday for a lazy afternoon of horseback riding. It was windy but warm and the boys had so much fun. Just look at this smile!
Both boys had to go on two different times because they were having so much fun. Look at how confident Smarty Marty looks in the saddle! He was even riding with a swagger just like a true cowboy!
Despite being city folk, the kids didn't seem to have any trouble adjusting. Even Meryl got a chance to sit up on the horse. For the most part, however, she was happy just watching everyone and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
By the time we left, Marty knew the names of all of the horses in the ring and was trying to figure out how to make his horse go faster. Mike was a little less daring, but he spent as much time as they would let him in the saddle enjoying the lazy walk around the track. We brought carrots too, and after everyone was done riding, we spent some time in the stables feeding them.
When we finally made it home, everyone was sound asleep. We carried them in the house and put them to bed, and they didn't wake up until morning. We'll have to plan another country weekend like this sometime soon. Maybe we'll go out to the nursery next weekend to start our vegetable garden!
