Giddy-Up

Last month, Abigail's friend Maddie celebrated her birthday at a local horse farm. My kids were in heaven around their friends and the animals. It was one of the first warm days we've had this spring, and I think we all enjoyed ourselves.

They started the kids off easy with a few rounds of stick horse racing.


Abigail proved she is a true city girl, but she did give a good effort at her turn with roping.


Being the true science geek, my daughter loved the equine science lesson that was the most boring part of the day, in my opinion.


But, the true highlight of the day was just hanging out with the horses.








Cooper wasn't up for riding the same horse that Abigail rode. He stuck to a different breed.


He was especailly partial to some other farm residents.


Of course, there was the usual birthday cake,


...and laughter with friends,


...and sweet Maddie.
