The kids spent the morning riding horses & I spent the morning taking nearly 500 pictures.  (Wow!)  We had a wonderful morning.  A friend asked us to come down to let the kids ride the horses.  We needed to be there early in order to beat the heat and humidity.  They taught the kids soo much.  What a blessing. 

They had to retrieve them from  the pasture... actually, the horses came pretty willingly.  Then the kids (well the younger two anyway) helped brush them down & get them ready to ride.  dd14 claimed she had to hold the reigns on the one horse that was eating.... in reality, I know that she was a little afraid of getting dirty.  lol 

Here's a few pictures of the kids riding horses.  The horses were so gentle & good with the kids.
