My friend's mom has horses on their "ranch" in Peabody!
So we took the kids to the big city to ride horses!
Since it has rained for WEEKS AND WEEKS recently, the country roads are A MESS....to say the least! We didn't ask for directions and trusted the old GPS and that was not a good idea.
By the time we got there...this is what our truck looked like!
Steve washed it by hand at the car wash and then I took it through a car wash the next day.
Dirt was still falling off it, 3 days later! GROSS!!!
I am thankful Steve was with us or I would have probably turned around at the sight of the first "pond in the road" or sticks that had to be moved out of the way to drive on the road.
We told the kids they got to go mudding AND horseback riding all in the same day!
Deanna's mom not only let the kids ride, she taught them how to brush and take care of the horses, how to saddle the horses, walk them, ride them, check the hoofs, and more.
It was very cool.
The kids LOVED IT!!!
Yes, Paige wanted to wear her "riding boots"!
Tyler forgot his tennis shoes (don't ask, it's a long story) so he had to wear Steve's tennis shoes! Thankfully Steve had brought an extra pair!
It was a fun FAMILY morning (once we got there and out of the mud!!!)
**Jaden and Paige switched horses for fun right before the picture.
Jaden didn't ride the tiny one, but for a few minutes!**
