Horseback Riding


Since Avery and her best friend Maya have birthdays one day apart, we decided to have the girls celebrate together. They wanted to go horseback riding, so we set up a two-hour lesson for them to learn about horsemanship and ride. They loved it!! Avery is ready to abandon all of her other activities to take horseback riding lessons.

We all enjoyed being at the stables. They had a treehouse for the boys to play on, and a sweet, oversized Lab puppy to cuddle. The boys were even allowed to ride for a couple of minutes at the end of Avery's lesson! It all went wonderfully -- except the brief moment when Avery's horse spooked when I took a picture of Griffin on his back. But all was well, and Griffin thought it was fun!
