We drove out to the farm after school. It's about 17 minutes away out in the country... beautiful and peaceful. The girls instructor, who we know from church, met the girls and off they went. With Geneva and Hanna in town, Chris had called ahead to see if another horse was available for Hanna. Sure enough they were all able to enjoy the lesson together. They walked down the dusty road to the back pasture and returned with their horses. Then they tied them up, brushed them, learned how to saddle them, and walked them up to the arena where they learned how to ride. They all did so good. It was so fun to watch... but a little unbearable for Megan who was dying to 'have a turn', and Ryan who kept saying 'this is totally not fair' every five minutes. The lady who owns the farm saw Ryan and Megan's sadness and offered them a ride down the pasture to help her unload the hay for some of the horses. They climbed aboard her little tractor and off they went. Then at the end they hopped behind Katie and Emily on their horses for a trail ride.
It's refreshing to be out in the country. Time seemed to stand still as we enjoyed the scenery. I know I can speak for the whole family when I say... "We can't wait till next month."
