Giddy Up'

Horses and children, I often think, have a lot of the good sense there is in the world. ~Josephine Demott Robinson

Today, Emily rode her first horse. Trinity and her mom invited us to come and ride on their horse Mydnyght. Shock of all shocks, Emily was actually really into it. Normally, on any other day, she is my scardy cat, but not today! She had a blast. I'm pretty proud of her for swallowing her fear and getting up there. Mydnyght is a big horse. Billy on the other hand had a "tummy ache" and was "hungry" and wanted to just go home. He was a little entertained by the idea of playing in the dirt in the arena (of course) and for almost a second he seemed impressed by the pot bellied pig. All in all though, he has offically declared himself a homebody. You can clearly tell just how much fun he had by the American Gothic photo I snapped below!
