Ride Em' Cowboy/girl!

If any of you have been around Grant for--um, 2 minutes, you can probably guess that he is obsessed with cowboys, horses, or anything that is western. So when he got to go on this little adventure yesterday with Grandma Redfearn, he was so excited!!

Grandma has a friend named Karen, who has horses at her house. Grant has known about this for awhile and kept reminding us that he hasn't got to go over to ride the horse. So everyone's schedules finally worked out and Grandma called to see if Grant could go to Karen's house with her. The first thing he asked was, "Do you think she'll show me her whap (whip) and her gun?!" We had to convince him that she probably didn't have those things--even though she had a horse. And then he ran to the fridge to get an apple, "Cause' Mom, horses like to eat apple you know!" (I guess Grants' eat apples too, because it was half gone by the time they got out the door)

Well, I think from the look on his face his dreams came true:



And for those of you who have been around Emma for---um, 2 minutes, you might know that she is deathly afraid of most animals--big or small. But she is getting better lately. So she went along too. She hadn't committed to going on the horse at all--and we all expected her to huddle close to Grandma. But she surprised us and took her turn on the horse--"But I only went one time around!" she was quick to say. But that's okay, it was a big step for her.


Thanks Grandma and Karen!!
