Uncle Ben got a new horse, Dixie :)
In honor of her homecoming, we all went out to see her and GG let everyone have a ride on her "hoss" as Cale would say.
Sooooo glad Ginny remembered to bring her camera!!
Olivia and Ellie rode first and did VERY well.
Apparently, Layla wanted nothing to do with Festus until we got there. Which really surprised me. She's has only done pony rides so far, but has been begging to go horseback riding and spent lots of time with Peacekeeper when Nathan was on mounted patrol.
Isaac took a turn too and did a great job!
Somehow after we got there, LP found the courage to give it a try :)
She rode with GG first and then with Mommy. After that, none of them could get enough! Her, Ellie, and Isaac all took turns riding with either me or Ginny. It was soooo fun. I haven't ridden in sooo long and it felt SO good to be back in the saddle! Oh I love it.
Next, it was C Man's turn!! I missed it (had taken both girls to the potty) but apparently he loved it!! Even enjoyed a little trot!
What happened next nearly shocked us all.... Nonie got on the horse. For the first time since she was 16. She had not had a good experience and we can ALL tell the story, lol. But she did it and she did it well!!
And if that weren't enough... Meme (NATHAN'S grandmother!) climbed on next!
Finish a day like that off with dinner at Cracker Barrel with Ben and Ginny and it is a good day, folks. Good times, GOOD. TIMES.
