Oh, we had such a wonderful night last night!  My soon-to-be (step) sister-in-law and her family invited us to their house for some horseback riding.  Lily has been very interested and we wanted to try her out around and on the horses.  She really did well and absolutely loved it!  Luke and Isaac got some time to ride as well.  Sam just screamed when he got close to the horse (which he usually does when close to any large animal) so he just stuck to the four-wheelers.

 

It was a beautiful night.  We all had such a great time around the barn and the horses, taking rides on the four-wheelers, enjoying the cool breezes, and each other.  Here are some photos ...

Check out that turn!

 

All smiles!

 

Now, check out that smile ... what a ham!

 

Our quiet and humble Luke .. he loved it, really he did.

 

Ah, Sam found his comfort zone, on the four-wheeler with his uncle, Justin.

 

Lily took a long enough break from the horses to squeeze in a four-wheeler ride.

 

And I got to ride too!  Good William .....

 

John just kept to the four-wheelers with the boys, which he greatly enjoyed as well.
