Patrick's Turn

 

Patrick had a great time on his first horseback lesson. He was so proud of himself.

Neltner Farm

We went into the hills of Kentucky to join our friends at Neltner Farm. It was a beautiful day for finding a pumpkin. 

Best Friends:)

Patrick really wanted to ride a little black horse.

Mary only fed this baby goat.

Where are we? Mary led the way through the corn maze.

We made it!!

Horse Riding Lessons

I know it has been forever! My apologies to my dear Mother-in-law.

Mary has been asking to ride a horse for sometime so we are beginning lessons. This is Pueblo. Her teacher was amazing and taught her about caring for Pueblo along with her riding lesson.

Mary is learning to ride bare back because it helps with her balance.

Her teacher called her cowgirl and made her play a game with her hands. She had to put her hands on her head and legs, up like on a roller coaster ride and out in front of her like a mummy throughout the lesson.

She can't wait for her next lesson.

Parky's Farm

My cousin Nicholas had his therapy at Parky's Farm a few weeks ago so we joined him and his family. Nicholas did an amazing job.

Patrick fed Nicholas' horse, Breeze.

He was so proud of himself.

Our little cowboy!

And our little cowgirl.

Smoothies

Mary asked to make Smoothies a few weeks back. She found the recipe in a kids cookbook that YoYo and Rice gave her. They were delish! The kids loved making Smoothie mustaches.

Do you even notice his mustache with his baby blues staring at you?

Naples, FL

We had multiple delays on our flight down. The kids actually fell asleep. Patrick is laying on my lap and Mary is laying on Patrick's lap-so sweet.

We went hunting for sea turtles one night. The turtles lay their eggs on Clam Beach which is where our hotel was located. We didn't find any:(

This nest is safe from beach combers. Did you know only 1 out of 1,000 baby turtles survive?

I'm in HEAVEN!! We woke Patrick up from his nap but he wasn't ready to be awake. I asked if he wanted some lovin' while he woke up. He ended up falling back to asleep for 20 minutes.

Giraffe neck.

We found a yummy cupcake shop.

The men.

The ladies.

We had a great time together.

Digging.

Searching for shells.
