"A horse is a horse, of course, of course!"

New Year's Day, my old brother invited me and the girls to come out and ride his horse. Gracey and Emily had been on a horse before when they visited their Grandma Jean in Snowflake, AZ. but that was almost 2 years ago. So they were long overdue to get back in the saddle! (get it?)





As usual, Gracey had no issues getting right on. In fact, she loved it.


Emily took advantage of the comfort Grandma Joyce gives!


As much of a cheerleader I was when my kids got on, I was surprisingly nervous when my brother asked me if I wanted a turn. I used to ride horses a lot when I was younger. My grandfather owned them as I was growing up and I was always very comfortable around them. It had been a really long time though and that is kind of a long fall to the ground if you get bucked off!

(Why these thoughts didn't go through my head when my own children were on the horse? I don't know.)

I did end up riding though and really enjoyed it.




The girls were so tired afterward! They could barely keep their eyes open on the way home. They perked up a little though after seeing me take a picture of them.



They are such cuties!
