Peep, Dot, & Bo

The week before Thanksgiving Nate's oldest brother Bryan 

and his wife Jenna invited us over to come see their horses

and have dinner at their house.

The have one regular size horse (Bo), 
one pony (Dot), 

and one miniature horse (Peep).

Feeding Dot...

Not so sure about this whole horse-riding idea...

...it was a just a little too scary.

We think Brenna makes a pretty cute cowgirl! 

Mabel and I watched them ride around 

and I think it made her want to try again. 

She started out by helping Uncle Dave walk Peep around.

Then with a little coaxing, she tried

sitting on Peep. 

She realized Peep wasn't so 

scary afterall!

"He's a little nice horse!"

Then there was no stopping her!

She wanted to ride Dot next and rode her all around 

the arena even without me walking next to her.

Morgan takes after her mama and is so great 

with the horses and kids.

Littlest cowgirl needed a snack and a kiss from daddy.

We were so proud of her for trying to ride

again even though it really scared her at first.

Mabel even got really brave and rode on 

Bo with Uncle Dave!

And finally, jumping over horse poop.

I think she liked this activity even

better than riding the horses.

Thanks Bryan and Jenna (and the kids),

we had a great time!
