Uncle Cary's Horses


We took the boys up to Pine Mountain to visit Daddy's Aunt Jerry and Uncle Cary and ride horses. N had ridden one of the horses, "Cowboy" before and has not forgotten it. This time, both of the boys were old enough to ride. Uncle Cary was so patient with them and really tried to teach them how to get the horse to stop, go, and turn. Both of the boys had a great time and did pretty well. M was a little timid at first, but loosened up rather quickly. N loved it and in his usual mode, took it very seriously. He has always had a fondness for Uncle Cary and talked his head off the whole time he was on the horse! It was so much fun to watch them and for all of us to spend time with their Aunt and Uncle.


Of course, the trip was not complete until Daddy had a turn riding. He took both of the boys on a little ride, but then took a little spin by himself. I have to say that it may have been the first time that a horse has been ridden in seersucker and flipflops!


The evening finished off with some homemade peach cobbler and icecream which was divine!
