Firsts

Both Jordan and Dominic were able to go for their first horseback rides earlier this month. While my sister and her family were in town we went to a friend's farm with my brother and his family. The kids had fun running around the farm. They got to chase a pot-bellied pig and swing on swings. They even got to feed a baby goat. I think the highlight of the evening was riding the horses. There was a little pony they could ride or Dusty (a quarter horse).

Constance has always loved horses and would have stayed on one the entire time if she could. She had fun riding "her horse" Dusty and also the pony. Jordan had fun with Uncle Hambone ... Tradition is that Uncle Hambone takes the kids on their first horseback ride. I don't know why it has taken us so long to get Jordan out on his first ride but he was quite content. Of course, when he wasn't on the horse he managed to find a 4-wheeler to sit on. Dominic got his first ride as well.

It was a fun night! Jordan points out every horse he sees and gets quite excited.
