Horseback riding at West Mountian Trails

On Saturday we went horseback riding with my sister and her family.

(Little Lad with me, Scarlett riding with Adam, Owen riding with Julie,
Nature Man, the Artist, Dash riding with Fred)

Nature Man getting ready to start out.
The Artist rode Tipper.

Below, all of our little ones getting geared up.

Naturally, if you put on a helmet ...

... it's for head-butting purposes.

Doesn't Little Lad look just adorable??

Owen is so excited!

Little Lad rode in front of me, on our horse Poco.

Group pictures after the ride, first taken by me and then by Julie.
And there are some more pictures here, on her site.

And THEN-- look at this-- after seeing the post, a friend sent me a picture of us all together! Thanks so much, sinai!!!

As soon as Amy's baby Ransom is old enough, I expect us all to ride here with our families together.
