Summer in the Country

We went to a family reunion in South Arkansas this weekend. We had lots of fun, but we were soooooo hot. But, I would rather be hot than cold!
Waiting around for the fish to fry.

The girls got to ride a horse. I had said a couple of weeks ago that I would NEVER let my girls ride a horse at their young age. I ate my words Saturday night.
Emily was as nervous riding as I was letting her ride. I kept thinking, "What if this horse spooks and runs away with her?"

Sarah Kate was not scared at all!!!!! She was soooo proud to be riding a horse.

Riding the Mule.
We let Harper take Sarah Kate for a ride. NO! I am just kidding. They were pretending.
Glad I got to be with my Dad for Father's day! These are two very wise and kind Dads.

The most fun at the farm: The merry-go-round. I loved it as much as the children.

why don't you put your girls hair up in pony tails or pig tails when its so hot?
Is that a southern thing?

Your girls are precious! I would also be scared for my son to ride a horse, when I was younger I rode a horse at the county fair and it bucked me off and left me unconscious for a good five minutes. Friends and relatives think I'm crazy for not allowing my child to ride the ponies and horses at the fair, but after my tramatic incident I can only think the worse, lol.


I also LOVE the old merry ground, how cool?!

My children have always been around horses. My oldest (he is 8 now) got a minature shetland pony for his 2nd birthday! It was the meanest thing ever. He still rode it when he was 5 and it bucked him off. I actually have a picture of it bucking him off!! It threw him back and he had a terrible bruise on his chin. Needless to say he hasn't rode it since and it will not be rode again!! He rides a much bigger horse now!! Check this post out! http://skeltonfam4.blogspot.com/2011/02/sundays-riding-adventure.html
