Family & Horses

I knew that my niece, Amanda was coming to stay with us for a week and she LOVES horses.  Literally LOVES horses...since she was tiny!  That is all she wanted to play with and all she does is horse stuff now as a 16 year old.  I knew that she would love to go visit our cousin in Illinois...she has horses!!  Taylor was so excited that she couldn't sleep...she woke up every couple of hours, asking if it was time to see the horses!  I figured it was a great thing to do with Amanda in town...visiting family AND getting to ride horses...doesn't get better than that!  We had the best time!

The three amigos!

So happy on her first horsey ride!

Tay looks so tiny on that big horse!

My Blake didn't want to ride,
he started feeling yucky :( 

Happy to get geared up!

Couldn't stop grinin'

Blake following behind...

she got to canter and did awesome!

Now THAT'S a happy girl!

Amanda and LaVon have lots in common...especially horses!
