Horseback Riding ~

I entered the room to find Naomi climbing the dresser using the handles on the drawers (she was nearly to the top before I intercepted her)...to add to this scene I also noticed that "Climb, Climb up Sunshine Mountain," was being sung at the same time on her music video. Hmm...wonder where she got the idea to climb the dresser? :) Our family's been on great hikes in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, we've been to amazing waterparks, we've traveled several states across the country...YET Naomi's question all week was, "When will Grandpa take me to the dump?" We took the girls to our friend's ranch (Brad worked for him sometimes during our support raising time here), so they could see the baby calves and get their first horseback ride. They rode Stormy...a twenty-seven year old mare. Old enough not to have energy to buck them off....good plan! Below: We're beginning to pack so we used this wagon to bring all our storage into the house to repack. We'll have to mail about ten tubs of our stuff and pray they will get there intact. My best friend Ronda surprised me by a visit! Her daughters are so cute...I've never met Juliana so it was fun to finally meet her. ConLai and Ruthie are nearly a month apart in age. Brad was so sweet...he took all four ladies and played with them outside so Ronda and I could chat uninterrupted.
