Horsing Around

At the end of May, our GRACE homeschool group had a get-together.
Our kids had the opportunity to ride a horse.

Syndi was very excited, and was the first to ride.

Julia looked on eagerly, fascinated by the horse.

Soon, Junior and Jules were preparing for a turn.

Syndi returned from the ride...

...and Junior began to get up on the horse.

That's as far as he got.

He got a little scared, and decided not to ride.

I think he was bummed as he looked on dejectedly.

This is the barn for the horses.

Julia was fascinated as another horse came over to eat her carrots.

She was happy to feed it...

...until after it took its first chomp...then she was happy to let someone nearby hold that carrot.

Syndi enjoyed watching the horses.

Then she took Jules for a ride.

What a nice big sister!

Julia took it all in stride.

We get to ride horses every day, right? Not.

Aren't they adorable?
