There's a First for Everything!


 And this day it was horseback riding for Emma and Lauryn!  

Off we went to Auntie Pam's to learn all about horses and what a lesson the girls had.  All the way home they were chatting about how much fun it was and couldn't wait to tell their Mommy about their adventures.

I have tried to capture all of the wonderful moments of this very special afternoon that Emmy and Lauryn had at Auntie Pam's lovely farm  ...

First the rules .... many rules about safety!
Let's get to know Q.  Feel how velvety his nose is!!


Two of the horses poking their heads into the barn wondering who these little people are!
Time for brushing - horses like to roll in the dirt!
"Here Q, I brought some apple and carrot treats  for you!"
Lauryn was a little timid at first but Auntie Pam showed her how!
Time to walk down to the riding ring ... the excitement at this point was over the top!



That is one big horse!  What a brave girl you are, Lauryn!
Wow ... this is a looooong way up!
Emmy sure is a happy little girl !
Now ... I have to try and get off !

Lauryn's turn to ride "Q"
Ok ... this is not too scary!
Almost finished - gotta sweep up first though!

Preparing supper for the horses.

Looking for Harry and his mate Harriett the Herons in the pond!

More treats for being such a good horse!

More grooming after our rides



Time to put away the saddle

Auntie Pam even has her own blackberries to pick!
Emma and Lauryn spotted a deer on the way home.  Ahhhhh, life in the country!!!!

THANK YOU AUNTIE PAM FOR A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!
